The skin, the largest organ of our body, plays a fundamental role in protecting us against external threats, regulating our temperature and transmitting sensory stimuli. Maintaining skin healthy is essential not only for aesthetic reasons, but also to ensure our general well-being.

The neurosurgery operating room incorporates new angiography/CT equipment
The integrated neurosurgery operating room has recently been renovated to continue offering the latest and best technology in intraoperative imaging. In this case, angiography/computed tomography (CT) equipment has been incorporated into the facilities, a new tool that allows for further improvement of both patient safety and the efficiency of interventions and which has been acquired thanks to European Union funds through the Investment Plan in High Technology Equipment (INVEAT). Thanks to this new equipment, the integrated neurosurgery operating room significantly improves its performance and thus increases its quality of care. “With the new angiogram we manage, on the one hand, to improve patient safety during interventions and minimize the risk of complications, and on the other we manage to be more effective. All of this has a direct impact on the patient”, explains Dr Joaquim Enseñat, head of the Neurosurgery Service at Hospital Clínic and neurosurgeon at barnaclínic+.

barnaclinic+ incorporates early diagnosis programmes for prostate and breast cancer
Cancer is one of the most common diseases. The great advances in medicine in recent years have made it possible to improve the survival rate of this disease. However, it is still the leading cause of death in the world today. One of the decisive factors for a good prognosis is the stage of development of the tumour. Many cases can be cured if detected early and treated effectively. For this reason, early cancer diagnosis programmes are a very important tool. barnaclinic+ currently has a new Medical Screening unit, which offers early diagnosis programmes for colon and rectal cancer, lung cancer, skin cancer and melanoma. This offer is now being extended to include the early diagnosis of prostate cancer, the most common tumour among men, and breast cancer, the most common among women. While the programmes themselves already existed, an updated portfolio of services has been defined. In these new programmes, as in those that already existed, patients will receive care from the best specialists in these areas, who have proven experience and are international benchmarks. Likewise, the most advanced and precise technology is available, which allows the identification of tumour lesions in their earliest stages.

Doing this on an annual basis is no trivial matter. For the fifth time, Newsweek magazine, in collaboration with Statista, has compiled its ranking of the world’s best hospitals, the World’s Best Hospitals 2023. And for yet another year, the Clínic de Barcelona has been among the best in Spain and the world.
