For more than 30 years, the Fight Infections Foundation has been working to provide real opportunities for people with infectious diseases and to share the knowledge generated with the scientific community and society →
The Fight Infections Foundation was established in 1992 at the Germans Trias Hospital by Dr. Bonaventura Clotet, with the aim of supporting the HIV Unit and promoting research and training in this field.
Since then, it has evolved to address infectious diseases as a whole, thanks to the accumulated knowledge of the immune system and an agile organizational structure capable of doing so.
The fight continues!

We are committed to equal opportunities and provide the necessary resources to continue moving towards an inclusive and non-stigmatizing society.
