Hospital Acuario

The Acuario Group story began in 1976 when gynaecologist and obstetrician Dr Pedro Enguix left the public health service to open in Valencia one of the first family planning clinics in Spain. The clinic was dedicated to all areas relating to pregnancy and childbirth. A great team of professionals formed around him who worked and continue working on the practice and promotion of alternative procedures which give women the opportunity to regain control of their own reproduction and allow for their medical needs to be met in more comfortable and human surroundings.

In the mid 90s Dr Henk Egbert Landa joined the Acuario Group bringing with him a wealth of professional experience in family medicine and in the co-ordination of specialist medical teams. The criteria that had governed the group’s work with regards to women’s health were then extended to groups of all ages and to the opposite sex. Acuario also extended its provision by developing co-ordinated interdisciplinary groups of different specialists who approach health from a holistic perspective.

The Acuario Group now has two centres: a clinic in Valencia and a hospital with a maternity unit in Beniarbeig (Alicante). Over both centres, almost 100 people including health professionals and support staff cover 29 different medical specialisms. The common aim for Acuario professionals is to offer a high quality service based on a humanistic approach to medicine.
