What Sociedad Española de Medicina Preventiva, Salud Pública y Gestión Sanitaria does

SEMPSPGS (Sociedad Española de Medicina Preventiva, Salud Pública y Gestión Sanitaria) is the national professional medical society for specialists in Preventive Medicine and Public Health, nursing professionals, and other healthcare practitioners working in preventive medicine, public health, hygiene, and healthcare management in Spain. It is a private nonprofit organization domiciled in Madrid (CIF 80144983G) with an operational contact office in Oviedo and a lean staff of 7. Its core activities include organizing 10 specialized study committees (Quality and Patient Safety, Vaccines, IRAS/Healthcare-Associated Infections, Biosafety, Climate Change, Nursing, etc.), publishing the peer-reviewed Revista Española de Medicina Preventiva y Salud Pública, and running a rotating annual congress circuit (Palma 2023, Pamplona 2025, Barcelona 2026, Granada 2027).

The society's flagship research initiative is the ENEAS II (Estudio Nacional de Eventos Adversos y Sobreutilización II) study — the largest patient safety research network in Spain, covering 167 hospitals (139 public, 28 private), 1,450+ healthcare professionals, and 22,235+ patients, with fully digitized screening and clinical review tooling aligned to the WHO Global Patient Safety Action Plan 2021-2030. SEMPSPGS has also co-developed proprietary mobile applications (NO HACER, ADECUAS, QUICKVACCINE) with Hospital Ramón y Cajal's Preventive Medicine Service and IRYCIS for clinical guideline reference. Technology assets are conventional digital tools rather than AI/ML systems.

The revenue model combines recurring annual membership fees with one-time congress registration fees priced at €250-€450 per attendee depending on membership status and timing, plus a €50 gala dinner add-on. The organization markets through its website, scientific journal, congresses, study committee outputs, and a broad collaborative network of 14+ Spanish medical societies plus patient-advocacy bodies (FEP) and research networks (EPINE, Infección Quirúrgica Zero). No external investors, parent company, funding rounds, or M&A activity are disclosed.

Direct peers

• Sociedad Española de Epidemiología (SEE): SEE is a formal collaborating society of SEMPSPGS and a direct peer: a Spanish professional society for epidemiologists, organizing joint working groups on nutrition and shared research initiatives, with a comparable membership, congress, and publication model.
• Sociedad Española de Salud Pública y Administración Sanitaria (SESPAS): SESPAS is the closest Spanish peer society, also focused on public health and health administration. Like SEMPSPGS, it operates as a membership federation of regional public health societies, publishes research, and engages in policy advocacy, making it a direct functional counterpart.
• Sociedad Española de Calidad Asistencial (SECA): SECA is the leading Spanish society for healthcare quality and patient safety, directly overlapping with SEMPSPGS's ENEAS II patient safety remit. Both organizations run congresses, publish journals, and influence national quality standards.
• Asociación Española de Bioseguridad (AEBIOS): AEBIOS is a formal collaborating society of SEMPSPGS, focused on biosafety — one of SEMPSPGS's study committee areas. It mirrors SEMPSPGS in operating as a Spanish membership organization with shared research and standards-setting activities.
• Asociación Española de Vacunología (AEV): AEV is a collaborating partner society focused on vaccinology, a core study committee area within SEMPSPGS. Both publish vaccine guidelines, organize training, and serve overlapping healthcare professional audiences in Spain.
• Fundación de Educación para la Salud (FUNDADEPS): FUNDADEPS is a collaborating partner organization focused on health education and promotion, which overlaps with SEMPSPGS's Promotion and Prevention study committee. Both run public-facing health campaigns and training in Spain.

Broad incumbents

• World Federation of Public Health Associations (WFPHA): WFPHA is the global federation of national public health associations, of which organizations like SEMPSPGS's international counterparts are members. It represents the highest-level umbrella comparable to SEMPSPGS's mission and operating model at a global scale.
• European Public Health Association (EUPHA): EUPHA is the leading pan-European public health association. It operates a similar membership, conference (EPH), and journal (Eur J Public Health) model but at a broader geographic scale, making it the international umbrella counterpart to SEMPSPGS.
• American Public Health Association (APHA): APHA is the world's largest public health professional organization, sharing the same membership, advocacy, scientific journal, and annual meeting model as SEMPSPGS, but at vastly greater scale and geographic reach.

Regional players

• Sociedad Española de Medicina Interna (SEMI): SEMI is a major Spanish internal medicine society that partners with SEMPSPGS on joint statements (e.g., hantavirus response). It operates a similar congress, publication, and study-group model and is comparable in scale and influence, though focused on a different clinical specialty.
