About Oficina de Treball del SOC

More than 7.5 million people live in Catalonia, and all of them are guaranteed healthcare. To the universality of the public health system, we must add equity in access, quality of care, and capacity for innovation. These values and a unique management formula, with distinctive features such as the diversity of providers, have made it an international benchmark, capable of providing our territory with levels of well-being comparable only to the most advanced countries in healthcare. The system is based on a model of excellence that places people at the center and accompanies them throughout their lives. It takes care of them so they can be born and grow up healthy, and it detects and treats any illnesses they may suffer. If it cannot cure them, it helps them live in the best possible conditions, and ensures that their right to die with dignity is respected. To achieve this goal, it relies on the effort and dedication of more than 140,000 professionals, a network of more than 3,000 points of care (from local clinics to large hospitals) distributed throughout Catalonia, and the use of state-of-the-art technology. The public health system's commitment to people has allowed Catalonia to achieve significant milestones in relation to the rest of the world, such as leading organ transplants and recording one of the best cancer survival rates.
