The Hospital Universitario del Henares is a hospital in Coslada, Spain, part of the hospital network of the Servicio Madrileño de Salud (SERMAS). The non-medical services are managed by Sacyr.

History

Featuring 194 beds and 7 operating rooms, with a built surface of 58,149 m² on a plot of 80,000 m²,^[1][2] it was opened on 11 February 2008.^[3] It provides medical attention to the municipalities of Coslada, San Fernando de Henares, Mejorada del Campo, Loeches and Velilla de San Antonio.^[4]

The regional Health minister of the Community of Madrid Javier Fernández-Lasquetty planned to fully externalise the management of the hospital by 2013 (along other 5 hospitals in the region), yet the process was suspended by the Superior Court of Justice of Madrid.^[5][6]

The construction company Sacyr was awarded with the 100% of the services of the hospital (excluding the medical attention) until 2041.^[7] Sacyr sold in 2014 nearly the half of its licensees to an investment fund linked to Lloyds Bank.^[8][9]

According to the Audiencia Nacional, the People's Party committed an embezzlement for the value of 258,297 euros when allocating the contracts of the hospital, setting 1% kickbacks.^[10]
