Resumen
[Abstract]: This paper analyses the roots of the creation of the Catalan hospital model, based on a preponderance of
privately owned hospitals and beds over those of public provision. In particular, on the basis of new
statistical and documentary sources and a review of the existing historiography, this study reinterprets
the keys that shaped this historical model during what is considered to be a strategic period of the
process, 1870-1935. In the late nineteenth century, hospitals dependent on provincial authorities became
private charity institutions in the provincial capitals, under the control of the medical and economic
elites (a decisive process in the case of the city of Barcelona). Later, during the dictatorship of Primo de
Rivera and the Second Republic, institutional impetus helped foster a system of district hospitals
intended to meet the public demand for a network of public utility hospitals. This network was made up
the few publicly owned hospitals and numerous privately owned ones. The philosophy of this model
was taken up again during the transition to democracy after responsibility for healthcare was devolved
to the Government of Catalonia 1981.
