International patient area. Good things are happening here.
The Institut Guttmann is a private foundation committed to the people to whom it provides personalised and highly specialised medical and surgical care in the field of neurorehabilitation and brain health. For this reason, it has an International patient area, in order to facilitate all procedures and guarantee a pleasant stay for patients and families who come from other international countries to undergo neurorehabilitation treatment at the Institut Guttmann.
Get in touch as an international patient
Our goal is to ensure that patients can achieve the highest possible degree of personal autonomy that allows them to have an independent, active, normalised life, be integrated into society, and live life in their own way.
A highly specialised centre with a large number of cases
