According to the Generalitat, this initiative represents a significant advancement in incorporating advanced therapies to combat complex infections.

A multidisciplinary team comprising professionals from internal medicine, infectious diseases, digestive health, microbiology, clinical analysis, hematology, and quality departments at Manises Hospital participated in the procedure. The Sagunto Hospital contributed with its microbiology and digestive health services.

The manager of Manises Hospital, Dr. Beatriz Gómez, highlighted the importance of incorporating innovative, evidence-based therapies to enhance care quality. Meanwhile, the manager of Sagunto Hospital, Dr. Ana Peiró, emphasized how this agreement strengthens coordination among public healthcare centers.
