The distinction by the Spanish Society of Obesity Surgery (SECO) as Center of Excellence-Unit of Advanced Bariatric Surgery "accredits our track record and the work done. We are very proud because only five state centers have obtained this category. It demonstrates the high level of organization of the Unit and of the hospital's technology to be able to perform highly complex surgery", points out Dr. moon

The aim of the Unit is to continue working in this line to maintain excellence, in the healthcare field, and to continue to contribute innovation and research.
