Clinica Universidad de Navarra

What Clinica Universidad de Navarra does

Clinica Universidad de Navarra (CUN) is a Spanish private, non-profit academic medical center founded in 1961, operating two hospital campuses in Pamplona (Navarra) and Madrid with more than 4,000 professionals organized across 50+ departments and medical services. The institution is integrated with Universidad de Navarra and CIMA Universidad de Navarra, its dedicated biomedical research institute, and runs the CUN Academia education division, creating a unified clinical-care, research, and teaching platform anchored on a university hospital model.

The clinical product portfolio centers on advanced oncology — including Europe's first Hitachi synchrotron proton therapy unit, MR Linac MRI-guided radiotherapy, Da Vinci robotic surgery (including a Da Vinci Single Port system installed at Madrid in January 2026), and HIFU for essential tremor and Parkinson's disease — supplemented by whole-genome sequencing (Veritas/Illumina), health-check programs, second-opinion consultations, and a dedicated international patient services channel. Technology investments announced in 2024 add three surgical robots, two MRI machines, and a proton/radiotherapy CT scanner. CUN runs more than 200 active clinical trials and, as of March 2026, operates an AI-assisted patient-trial matching system through a partnership with myTomorrows that uses large language models to analyze structured and unstructured clinical data against protocol eligibility criteria inside CUN's electronic health record.

CUN generates revenue primarily through fee-for-service medical care (consultations, diagnostics, surgeries, hospitalizations), clinical-trial partnerships with pharmaceutical sponsors, preventive health-check and genomic-screening programs, and international patient services. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The institution holds Joint Commission International accreditation continuously since 2004 (eighth reaccreditation in Pamplona in 2026 and first for Madrid in 2024), Magnet nursing recognition (first Magnet hospital in Spain), ISO 27001 certification, and ranks in the global top 50 in Newsweek's World's Best Specialized Hospitals 2026 across Gastroenterology, Neurology, Medical Oncology, and Orthopedic Surgery, plus rank 78 in World's Best Smart Hospitals.
