The Public and Community Health team (eSPiC) was
founded in 1994 at the Drassanes International Health Unit of the
Catalan Health Institute. Since then, it has worked to achieve
equitable, comprehensive, and sustainable healthcare to address
health needs at the individual, family, and community levels in the
field of International Health and Immigration. The human and
professional dimension has been and continues to be the backbone of
our interdisciplinary team, built over these years by various
professionals, including doctors, nurses, community health workers,
administrative staff, anthropologists, psychologists… Since 2013,
we have been part of the infectious diseases/preventive medicine
team at the Vall d’Hebron University Hospital / Vall d’Hebron
Research Institute (VHIR), and of the ICS international health
program (PROSICS), working towards a health care system that looks
beyond the comprehensive clinical and curative services of the
highest quality offered by the hospital, promoting the integration
of community activities into healthcare by incorporating community
orientation at all levels of the organisation. VHIR is looking for
