First hospital in Spain dedicated entirely to personalized, highly specialized Neurorehabilitation.
Comprehensive treatment for spinal cord injuries, acquired brain damage, and other neurological diseases.
Accredited by the Joint Commission International (JCI).
The Institut Guttmann is a private foundation established in 1965 and was the first hospital in Spain dedicated to medical-surgical treatment and personalized and highly specialized neurorehabilitation of people with a neurological injury. It is the International Reference Center for Neurorehabilitation of injuries of neurological origin.
Our goal is to ensure that our patients can achieve the highest possible degree of personal autonomy that allows them to develop an independent, active, normalized life, integrated into society and with their own lifestyle.
We are specialized in the comprehensive treatment and rehabilitation of people (adults, youth and children) with serious injuries to the nervous system: spinal cord injury, head trauma, stroke, neurodegenerative diseases, cerebral palsy, other severe pathologies of neurological origin…
One of our pillars is our translational research model, which allows us to translate the results of basic research into clinical practice as quickly as possible.
The Institut Guttmann has been accredited by the Joint Commission International in meeting international standards for the quality of healthcare and management of the organization since 2005.
