Assistència Sanitària provides its scholarships for health professionals

Assistència Sanitària and its bursary programme for health professionals have renewed, for the fifteenth consecutive year, their commitment to training in the field of health. For the 2022-23 academic year, more than two hundred applications were received which, after the selection process, have been turned into grants worth 30,880 euros for thirty-three students on master’s or postgraduate courses in the area of health.

As Dr. Ignacio Orce, President of Assistència Sanitària, pointed out during the award ceremony, “in order to improve the health system, the current situation requires more than ever that we highlight the work of health workers and encourage them to update their knowledge, giving special recognition to the profession. From all points of view, the balance of these fifteen editions is positive: 4,000 requests have been received, of which 467 scholarships have been given and around 436,000 euros have been adjudicated”. In this latest promotion, 11 master’s and postgraduate nursing degrees were awarded in different specialisations, such as surgery, hospital emergencies and neonatal-paediatrics.

With this initiative, Assistència Sanitària aims to ensure the optimum preparation of doctors, nurses and other people who look after the health of the public, whose professional practice makes quality healthcare possible.
