Hospital Universitario Santa Cristina

Hospital Universitario Santa Cristina is a Madrid public hospital organized between buildings A and B. Its roles include medical and surgical hospitalization, outpatient assessment and support to the regional hospital network, with dedicated continuing-care and palliative services.

Hospital Universitario Santa Cristina is a public hospital in Madrid with two identified buildings, A and B, both accessed from Maestro Vives Street. Its official infrastructure page describes their different histories and functions. The hospital’s role combines medical and surgical hospitalization, outpatient services and support for other hospitals in the Madrid regional health service.

Building A originated in 1924 as a maternity and children’s hospital and midwifery school. Its present described functions include medical and surgical wards, operating theaters, pharmacy, teaching rooms and library space, together with supporting services. The historical maternity role is not treated as evidence that the hospital currently provides every service associated with a modern full maternity center.

Building B was constructed between 1998 and 2001. Its published organization includes outpatient consultations, radiology, laboratories, endoscopy, rehabilitation gym space and three major ambulatory surgery theaters. Administrative and management functions are also housed there. This is a documented physical division of the hospital, allowing the two-building key fact to be stated without substituting a campus or department count.

The medical service information describes Santa Cristina as a support hospital for the regional system, including internal medicine admissions referred from other SERMAS hospitals. The internal medicine unit treats selected patients needing short or medium stays and provides consultations for surgical inpatients. The existence of this referral role is distinct from operating a general emergency department receiving every acute presentation.

Palliative care and continuing care are separately identified within the medical organization. Their published capacities concern those units, not the whole hospital. Nursing information describes the conventional medical and continuing-care wards, accessible bathrooms, patient rooms, equipment to assist mobility and resources for sleep studies. These are practical elements of the documented care environment.

The infrastructure table includes historical figures labeled for 2016. Those numbers retain their date and are not presented as a newly verified live bed inventory. The hospital’s current service pages and its building descriptions together support a profile centered on medical and surgical care, ambulatory assessment, continuing care and regional referral support. A specific unit capacity, older installed-bed figure and current whole-hospital capacity remain separate concepts throughout the profile.

The institution reports the following clinical and infrastructure information: outpatient care: Yes; buildings: 2 (Buildings A and B.). The scope and reporting period remain those of the linked institutional sources.
