HPS Private Hospital, also known as Hospital Perpetuo Socorro, is a private hospital in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria with a much broader clinical set-up than a small local clinic. The hospital states that it has 195 beds across four adjoining eight-storey buildings in the city centre, with 24-hour emergency care that includes adult medical, trauma and paediatric urgent care, supported by intensive care, imaging, surgery and clinical laboratory services. That makes it a practical option for patients who want hospital-based diagnosis, urgent assessment and specialist follow-up in one central location close to the Santa Catalina and Alcaravaneras side of the city.

Getting there:
By bus: The hospital is in the Leon y Castillo and Presidente Alvear area, which is one of the better-connected parts of central Las Palmas. Guaguas Municipales shows nearby stops including Leon y Castillo (edificio Jose Antonio), Leon y Castillo (Club Nautico), and Juan Manuel Duran Gonzalez (Bernardo de la Torre). Current line pages confirm that lines 1 and 12 stop at Leon y Castillo (edificio Jose Antonio), while lines 17 and 25 stop at Juan Manuel Duran Gonzalez (Bernardo de la Torre). Guaguas service information also shows lines 22 and 81 running through the nearby Club Nautico and Santa Catalina side of the corridor.
By car or taxi: The hospital’s hospitalisation building is on Calle Leon y Castillo 407, with consultations nearby on Leon y Castillo 401 and 24-hour emergency care on Presidente Alvear 44-46. Because it sits in a central urban location rather than on an out-of-town campus, it is especially practical for patients already based in Las Palmas who want a private hospital close to the port, Santa Catalina and Alcaravaneras side of the city.
On foot: This part of the city is easier to manage on foot than many edge-of-city hospital sites, which can be useful for follow-up visits, outpatient appointments and short journeys from nearby hotels, homes or offices in central Las Palmas. This is a central built-up area though, so allowing a little extra time for traffic and pick-ups is sensible.
