- The University Hospital of Torrejón is among the Madrid public hospitals with the shortest waiting times for outpatient appointments.
- The Vinalopó University Hospital registers a surgical delay of 39 days, compared to the average of 88 days in the Valencian Community.
- The Ribera healthcare group's management model combines accessibility, quality of care, and high healthcare activity to facilitate faster diagnoses and treatments, improving the patient experience.
The health group Ribera It continues to consolidate one of the main differentiating values of its care model: offering quality healthcare with reduced waiting times, which facilitate patient access to consultations, diagnostic tests and surgical interventions.
The latest official data from the Valencian Community and the Community of Madrid reflect particularly outstanding results in two of the group's flagship hospitals. On the one hand, the Vinalopó University Hospital It has managed to reduce its average surgical waiting time to 39 days, compared to the average of 88 days recorded in the Valencian Community, positioning itself as the hospital with the lowest surgical waiting time in this region.
On the other hand, the Torrejón University Hospital It is among the Madrid public hospitals with the best access to outpatient appointments, with an average wait time of 30,05 days compared to the Community of Madrid average of 59,91 days. Official data also highlight its diagnostic capacity, registering an average wait time for diagnostic tests of 13,02 days, significantly lower than the regional average of 54,48 days.
These results reflect a management strategy by the Ribera group aimed at optimizing available resources, improving the organization of healthcare activity, and ensuring that patients have access to specialized care in the shortest possible time.
Reducing waiting lists and times also allows for faster diagnoses, earlier treatment, and an improved overall patient experience throughout the care process.
The evolution of different specialties at the University Hospital of Torrejón illustrates this ability to improve access indicators without reducing healthcare activity. Services such as Cardiology, Dermatology, Psychiatry, and General and Digestive Surgery have significantly reduced their waiting times while maintaining or increasing their volume of consultations. Similarly, specialties such as Traumatology and Otolaryngology have increased their activity to meet a growing demand from patients.
In the case of the Vinalopó University Hospital, the sustained improvement in surgical waiting times has allowed the center to consolidate its position as a benchmark for accessibility within the Valencian healthcare system. The reduction in the average waiting time from 46 to 39 days over the past year reflects the work carried out to optimize care pathways and facilitate faster and more efficient care for the population.
For the Ribera healthcare group, maintaining short waiting times is a key indicator of quality care and commitment to patients. “It’s not just about improving numbers, but about guaranteeing more personalized, accessible, and effective care that allows us to respond to people’s needs when they need it,” the management team stated.
The results achieved by the group's hospitals thus reinforce a responsible and effective healthcare model that combines organizational innovation, clinical excellence, and management focused on generating value for patients and the healthcare systems in which it operates. Furthermore, they align with Ribera's long-standing commitment to results-based healthcare, where accessibility and quality of care are part of the same objective: to offer the best experience and the best health outcomes for patients.
