At the University of Navarra Hospital, 500 doctors are employed, along with 700 nurses and another 850 professionals. More than 100,000 patients are cared for each year.
The University was founded in 1952 by St Josemaría Escrivá de Balaguer, who summarized the mission of the University with the following words: "The University of Navarra strives to make present in all its activities the awareness of the idea that work is a testimony of the supremacy of the human being over the material world, a means of personal development, a bond between people and a fundamental way of contributing to the progress of humankind".

Since 1952, the University of Navarra has been linked with Opus Dei, an institution of the Catholic Church founded by St. Josemaría Escrivá de Balaguer, and which spreads the message that work and the ordinary realities of life are the road of Christian life. The Prelature of Opus Dei provides the spiritual and pastoral means necessary in order that the University may maintain and develop its Christian identity.
