- The healthcare group integrates its first hospital in Valencia, the result of an agreement with the healthcare professionals behind the initial project.
- IMSKE is a private hospital of high specialisation and international prestige, focused on the musculoskeletal system and with a wide range of related services, such as Rheumatology, Sports Medicine, Rehabilitation, Physiotherapy, Paediatric Orthopaedics, Podiatry and Neurology, among others.
The Ribera healthcare group incorporates the IMSKE hospital into its healthcare network and enters Valencia with its first hospital in the capital of the Valencian Community. Ribera has reached an agreement with the healthcare professionals behind the initial project to work together and continue developing this highly specialised and internationally renowned centre, in order to grow and bring its services closer to the citizens of the Valencian Community and other regions of Spain.
The European Musculoskeletal Institute (IMSKE) is a private hospital, located in one of Valencia’s growing neighbourhoods, very close to the Marina and the City of Arts and Sciences, specialising in the musculoskeletal system, with a wide range of related services, such as Traumatology, Rheumatology, Sports Medicine, Rehabilitation, Physiotherapy, Traumatology and Orthopaedics for children, Podiatry, Psychology and Nutrition, among others.
Musculoskeletal injuries affect around 60% of the population in Spain, according to the group’s specialists. Moreover, the ageing of the population, the increase in chronic diseases, sedentary lifestyles, poor postural hygiene, lack of information and adequate physical preparation for sports practice, together with the shortage of professionals, are some of the reasons given by the World Health Organisation for the fact that more than 400 million people in Europe do not have the necessary rehabilitation services.
The CEO of the healthcare group, Elisa Tarazona, stressed that the Mediterranean arc “is strategic for Ribera, as demonstrated by our recent investments in the Region of Murcia with the Virgen de la Caridad and Cardiosalus medical centre, in the southern area of Alicante, with the Ribera Ciudad Quesada clinic, and now in Valencia with the IMSKE hospital”. He also pointed out that “our objective is to reinforce and respect the vision of the project and the professionals involved in it, and to contribute the value of our experience in the management of public and private healthcare centres in five regions of Spain, in Portugal and in Central Europe”.
For her part, the CEO of IMSKE, Isabel Muñoz, said that “we are very excited about this new stage of IMSKE. In these three years we have set up the hospital with a team of exceptional doctors and people and now it is time to grow, with the backing of one of the best healthcare groups in Spain”.
