As of today Hospital Paitilla changes its name to Hospiten Paitilla
Panama City, July 17, 2025. - With pride and vision for the future, the renowned Hospital Paitilla celebrates 50 years reaffirming its commitment to the health of Panamanians and announcing a new institutional identity: Hospiten Paitilla, as the culmination of its transformation process over the last seven years as part of Hospiten, an international hospital network with presence in several countries.
Since its foundation in 1975, the hospital has established itself as one of the leading medical centers in the country, offering high quality care, state-of-the-art technology and a team committed to the integral wellbeing of the patient. The celebration of this half-century of history coincides with a new stage in its institutional transformation, which not only reflects a change of name, but also a clear commitment to innovation, medical excellence and international projection.
The executive president of Hospiten, Juan José Hernández Rubio, explains that the new name, Hospiten Paitilla, represents this new stage. It is the natural result of a responsible evolution, of an institution that has been able to mature without losing its capacity to renew itself, and that continues to consolidate itself as a reference hospital, recognized for its quality, its proximity and its permanent technological innovation.
Hernandez points out that in the framework of its 50th anniversary the institution is taking an important step: the transformation of the identity of Hospital Paitilla, aligning it integrally with the Hospiten image. Under the concept "The fabric that unites us", this new identity symbolizes the construction of a wellness ecosystem, woven with the experience and maturity that gives them their trajectory, but with an eye always set on the future.
Under the slogan of its new campaign, "The future of health, today", Hospiten Paitilla reaffirms its commitment to continue consolidating itself as a reference hospital in Panama, recognized for its scientific quality, its medical vocation and its constant technological innovation, said the executive president of Hospiten.
During the commemorative ceremony, hospital executives highlighted the milestones achieved in recent years, such as the total renovation of the pediatric and adult emergency services, the modernization of the physiotherapy and neonatology areas, including the neonatal ICU, as well as the acquisition of state-of-the-art equipment such as a 512-slice tomograph with spectral technology and one of the most advanced hemodynamics systems in the country. It recently concluded the construction of four new smart operating rooms, as part of its ambitious comprehensive restructuring master plan initiated in 2018. This project has encompassed improvements in technology, infrastructure and operations, with an investment of $8 Million.
The celebration also included the 50th edition of the hospital's Scientific Day, which will bring together students, physicians, nursing staff and healthcare professionals around the theme "Innovating in Health." The event will feature presentations by national and international experts in areas such as oncology, surgery, nephrology, palliative care and new diagnostic and therapeutic technologies.
Hospiten has 20 medical-hospital centers in Spain, Panama, the Dominican Republic, Mexico and Jamaica. Including the MD Anderson Cancer Center Madrid, a subsidiary of the prestigious MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston (Texas, USA), which has state-of-the-art technological equipment for the diagnosis and treatment of cancer.
With the support of Hospiten, Hospiten Paitilla is projecting itself into the future with a clear vision: to consolidate itself as a medical center of regional excellence, belonging to an international network, strengthening the continuous training of health professionals, expanding specialized care and deepening its commitment to the Panamanian community.
