Hospital Universitario Fundación Alcorcón
The Hospital Universitario Fundación Alcorcón is a major general hospital in Alcorcón, a city in the Madrid metropolitan area of Spain. It was founded in 1997.[1]
Although the hospital was built by the Spanish National Health System, its operational management is contracted out to a private company, and is exempt from many of the rules normally imposed on state-owned hospitals. The hospital was allowed to negotiate its own contracts with workers. The governance of the hospital includes local government, trade unions, health workers and community groups.[1]
The hospital's organizational structure is thought to have been one of the inspirations behind the creation of the United Kingdom's system of NHS Foundation Trusts.[1]
In October 2014, the hospital was reported to be treating a case of Ebola virus disease under strict biosecurity precautions.[2][3] The patient, Maria Teresa Romero Ramos, had arrived at the hopital by ambulance on October 6.[4] After diagnosis, she was later transferred to the Hospital Carlos III in Madrid for treatment.[5][4]
