Hospital Universitario Sanitas La Moraleja

Madrid, Spain

Last verified 2026-06-15

Hospital Universitario Sanitas La Moraleja is a private tertiary-care hospital located in the affluent La Moraleja district of northern Madrid, Spain, operated by Sanitas — Spain's largest private health insurer and a subsidiary of the Bupa Group. Founded in 1991, the hospital has grown into one of Madrid's most respected private medical centres, combining clinical breadth with a university-teaching designation that ties it to active research and specialist training programmes. The facility houses more than 200 beds, 20 operating theatres, and a full suite of advanced imaging and diagnostic equipment including 3T MRI, PET-CT, and robotic surgery platforms. Clinical depth is strongest in cardiology, oncology, orthopaedics, and neurology, with a dedicated cardiac catheterisation laboratory and an oncology day unit capable of delivering chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and radiotherapy under one roof. As part of the Bupa international network, the hospital has established infrastructure for internationally insured patients, providing English-speaking coordinators, direct billing with major expatriate insurers, and streamlined admissions for visitors and Spanish residents holding private international cover. Its La Moraleja location serves the large expatriate business community concentrated in Madrid's northern suburbs, making it a natural first choice for foreign executives, digital nomads, and EU-freedom-of-movement movers settling in the capital. Procedure costs sit well below equivalent private facilities in the United Kingdom or Germany while meeting Spanish Ministry of Health quality standards.
