The Sant Joan de Déu Hospital Order provides comprehensive care for people in vulnerable situations, helping to create a fairer society. Sant Joan de Déu is the Spanish centre with the highest volume of cases reported to the National Tumour Registry. This institution has begun a major project that Invest for children supports, the creation of the Pediatric Cancer Center, which began to be built in 2018, will be at the forefront in Europe.
