HC Marbella

What HC Marbella does

HC Marbella (commercial name: HC Marbella International Hospital) is a private, single-site hospital in Nueva Andalucía, Marbella, Spain, operated by HC Hospitales, S.L. and registered with the Andalusian Health Ministry (NICA 16145). With a headcount of 51-100 employees, the facility operates 40+ medical specialties across a footprint of 2 operating theaters, 12 inpatient beds, and a diagnostic imaging center. The hospital's core services span an Oncology Center (with PET-CT imaging, radiotherapy, and clinical trials), a related Fertility Center (HC Fertility / El Centro de la Fertilidad) offering IVF, egg bank and cryopreserved oocyte services under special regulatory authorizations, gynecology, ophthalmology, and a specialized urological laser unit. Technology differentiators include PET-CT imaging, AI-assisted diagnostic imaging for cancer detection (particularly mammography), robotic surgery options in orthopedics, and a proprietary electronic patient portal.

HC Marbella generates revenue through fee-for-service transactions across five streams: medical consultations and procedures, hospitalization and surgical services, diagnostic imaging, fertility and reproductive services, and direct billing arrangements with multiple health insurance companies. Patient acquisition is driven by a direct-to-patient model combining a 24/7 call center, WhatsApp, online appointment requests, and a multilingual website (Spanish, English, German) targeting both local residents and the international expatriate and medical tourism population on the Costa del Sol. The hospital is also a member of the Andalusian consumer arbitration system and adheres to WCAG 2 AA accessibility standards.

Customer segments are diversified across geography and use case: local Spanish patients of the Costa del Sol, international patients (British, German, and other expatriates), oncology patients (including clinical trial participants), and fertility and reproductive health patients. Strategic positioning emphasizes multilingual international service delivery, research-driven oncology (notably the LEGADO Hernán Cortés-Funes scholarship with SEOM), and breadth-of-specialty coverage to reduce the need for patient travel to Málaga or Madrid.
