The Ribera Povisa Hospital It is part of the Ribera group's network of health centers, with more than 20 years of experience in managing innovative projects, specialized in the health and well-being of citizens. Our vocation is to transform healthcare, providing value to society and contributing to the sustainability of health systems.
The history of Povisa Hospital begins in the late sixties, when a group of prestigious doctors from Vigo decided to unite their respective clinics in a single space. Although the company as such was founded in 1969, it was not until March 1973 when the hospital building was inaugurated on Salamanca Street in Vigo.
In those first years, Povisa offered citizens the specialties existing in the clinics of its founders, in addition to cancer treatment systems with isotopes and the cobalt bomb, which placed the Oncology Service at the technological forefront of the time. . As a result of the tragic accidents in a shipyard and a cannery, a Burns Unit was created that would be a pioneer in Galicia.
