Our history

Medical tradition in the heart of Barcelona

Our journey began in 1990. Back then, the Hostafrancs Medical Centre opened its doors in a cozy flat in the Sants-Hostafrancs neighbourhood. We started with barely ten specialities, but with a clear conviction instilled by our founder, Dr. Rachdan: medicine is only excellent if practised with closeness and absolute respect for the patient.  

Thanks to our way of understanding health, we soon ceased to be just the neighbourhood centre to become a point of reference in Barcelona. In 2010, we moved to our current premises, at street level, on Béjar Street 63-65. Today, after more than 35 years, we combine a lifetime of experience with a modern vision of healthcare in the city.


Our Manifesto: The human alternative in Barcelona medicine

In a setting where health seems to have become impersonal, at the Hostafrancs Medical Centre we uphold the value of people. We are an independent team of professionals working to offer you a healthier life in an atmosphere of trust.

Why are we different in Barcelona?

  • Top-level specialists: We have renowned professionals in more than 25 medical specialities. We offer the thoroughness of a large hospital, but with the warmth of a family-run private centre.

  • No waits, time for you: We value your schedule. In Barcelona time runs very fast, so we manage our appointments efficiently to keep waiting times minimal and the time in consultation quality.

  • A pleasant experience: We do not want you to feel in a cold clinic. We have designed a space that cares for your senses so that your visit is as comfortable and calm as possible.

  • Commitment and honesty: We work with the main health mutuals, always guaranteeing honest, compassionate care focused on what you truly need.

Welcome to medicine that listens. Welcome to the Hostafrancs Medical Centre.
