services to a population of 136,000, all in-
habitants of the city of Torrejón de Ardoz
and adjacent cities and towns in the corri-
dor, such as Daganzo and Ajalvir.
The hospital will shoulder 95 percent of
the healthcare needs of the patients in its
area and will feature a wide range of medi-
cal and surgical specializations and latest-
generation diagnostic tools. From now on
Torrejón’s hospital facilities will include 250
beds, 10 operating rooms, 12 dialysis sta-

the scheduled 18 months. The budget was
139 million euro and covered construction,
equipment and operation under a 30-year

FCC has experience in public/private part-
nership projects of this type. In 2007 it built
the 110-bed Hospital del Sureste in Argan-

also under a concession, and FCC is cu-
rrently busy constructing Enniskillen Hospi-
