So at that meeting, the proposal to appoint Dr. Xavier Garau i Alemán, the current medical director of the Clínica Rotger Quirón Salud de Mallorca, prospered as the first person to occupy this new position.

The figure of the senior consultant corresponds to a professional of recognized prestige in its scope of action. In this sense, the purpose of this incorporation is that it can make significant contributions and high added value to our organization, being able, in addition, to represent us in scientific and / or academic events in the national and international scope.

In the case of Dr. Garau, who was chief of the Internal medicine Department of the Hospital Universitario MútuaTerrassa in an uninterrupted manner in the period 1984-2010, the Board of Directors has especially appreciated both its initial commitment to the project - then very incipient and uncertain - as well as their significant contributions in the field of infectious diseases. His legacy has created a school that continues today.
