The Hospital Carlos III is a public hospital in the city of Madrid. It belongs to the Servicio Madrileño de Salud, the health service of the Community of Madrid. It was crested in 1990 from the merger of three previous hospitals, and was established as a center of excellence in research and treatment of infectious diseases.
A 2013 restructuring led to the closure of some of its rooms and services related to infectious diseases and gave it the role of medium-stay hospital attached to the Hospital Universitario La Paz for referring patients to public hospitals in the Community of Madrid. The need to admit a number of patients affected by Ebola virus disease in 2014 led to the reopening of the infectious disease treatment area.[1][2]
