Austral University Hospital (Hospital Universitario Austral) is a health care, teaching and biomedical research institution.[1] Its central facilities also house Austral University's School of Biomedical Sciences (Facultad de Ciencias Biomédicas). It also has five sites: the outpatient clinics located at Paseo Champagnat, San Miguel, Luján and Escobar, and the Officia Specialty Centre.[2]
It is considered one of the best hospitals in Argentina and one of the best in Latin America.[3][4] In 2013 it was accredited by the Joint Commission International, a US organization whose standards assess healthcare activity, medical education and research in individuals. Austral University Hospital was the first medical centre in Argentina to receive this accreditation.[3]
The university hospital is a member of the Alianza Latinoamericana de Instituciones de Salud (ALIS) together with the leading hospitals in the region: the Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein (Brazil), the Clínica Alemana de Santiago (Chile) and the Fundación Santa Fe de Bogotá (Colombia).[5]
Austral Hospital's mission is "to provide the highest quality and safety in healthcare, placing the needs of patients and their families at the centre of care, integrating care with biomedical education and research, and seeking to live and transmit human and Christian values."[6]
