History
It was opened on 29 February 2008.[2] Featuring a built surface of 85,000 square metres, it has 264 hospital beds and 11 operating theatres.[3]
It became a centre directly managed by the SERMAS in 2016.[4][5]
In 2017 the Hospital Virgen de la Torre became part of the organization of the Infanta Leonor from a legal standpoint.[2] In 2019, DIF, a Dutch investment fund, acquired the whole hospital.[6]
Its medical emergency services collapsed in March 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, with patients lying on the floor of the hospital corridors.[7]
