Regional players

• Hospital Universitari de Bellvitge: Catalan public teaching hospital in the Barcelona metropolitan area with high-acuity tertiary services. Comparable public-system, teaching-hospital model serving a regional catchment in Catalonia.
• Hospital Sant Joan de Déu: Barcelona pediatric teaching hospital participating in the 1x1 nursing exchange with Hospital del Mar. Comparable on public-system, teaching and research dimensions but focused on pediatrics, making it adjacent rather than direct.

Direct peers

• Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau: Another major public university hospital in Barcelona, jointly operating the Plastic Surgery Department with Hospital del Mar and participating in the 1x1 nursing exchange. Most directly comparable peer given shared geography, public funding model, teaching role and overlapping specialty portfolio.
• Hospital Clínic de Barcelona: Top-tier Barcelona public university hospital with strong research output, specialty services and teaching roles comparable to Hospital del Mar. Competes for complex case referrals, residency talent and EU research grants in the same region.
• Hospital Universitari Vall d'Hebron: Largest public hospital complex in Barcelona and a major Catalan teaching hospital with a similar mix of tertiary specialties, research institute and university partnerships. Direct competitor for the same catchment and prestige.

Broad incumbents

• Hospital Universitario La Paz: Large Madrid public university hospital with similar tertiary-service breadth, research activity and public-system funding model. Comparable as a peer Spanish public teaching hospital, though operating in a different region.
• Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin: European public university hospital with integrated research institute, broad specialty portfolio and government ownership — closely mirroring Hospital del Mar's structure of clinical care, IMIM-style research and university partnerships, but at a much larger scale.
• AP-HP (Assistance Publique – Hôpitaux de Paris): Network of public university hospitals in Paris analogous to Hospital del Mar's Parc de Salut MAR consortium model. Useful peer for benchmarking multi-site public academic hospital governance, public funding and research integration.
• Hospital General Universitario Gregorio Marañón: Madrid-based public university hospital with a comparable mix of acute care, specialty services, research and teaching. Useful benchmark for scale, public-hospital operations and CSUR-style designations in the Spanish public system.
