The Department of Obstetrics, Gynaecology and Reproductive Medicine, from thel Hospital Universitari Dexeus is a private centre of international reference, which has been dedicated exclusively to women’s health for 85 years.

The gynaecologist Santiago Dexeus Font founded the Clínica Mater in 1935 with the aim of promoting the development of these specialities in our country and offering training to other doctors by creating a university school called the Dexeus School, the oldest in Spain.

In the same year, the Spanish Ministry of Health granted the Hospital Universitari Dexeus the status of university hospital for resident doctors through the official MIR examination system.
