Ignacio Orce, the new Chairman of the Fundación Espriu

The board of the Fundación Espriu has appointed Dr. Ignacio Orce as the Chairman of the organisation for the next five years. Dr. Orce, who presides over the cooperative Autogestió Sanitaria and the insurance company Assistència Sanitària, is taking over from Teresa Basurte, who has led the foundation over the past ten years.

The Fundación Espriu brings together the Spanish institutions that use the cooperative healthcare model created by Dr. Josep Espriu, a system of providing health services committed to social medicine, which puts the patient at the centre of its actions and that puts the profits back into improvements in care quality, instead of pursuing business profits.

Recently, Dr. Antonia Solvas, Secretary of the Governing Council of the cooperative Lavinia and Dr. Joaquín Montolio, Asisa’s delegate in Tarragona have been incorporated to the Board of the Fundación Espriu.
