The social return on investment (SROI) of Lacor Hospital is measured for the first time. The study did not consider the value produced by the provision of care and training as this is invaluable. Apart from that, one Euro donated to Lacor produces almost three times the direct, indirect and induced monetary benefit to the community.

In recent years, the Corti Foundation has proven to be a key support, without which the explosion of structure costs due to new emergencies-Covid, Ebola, economic and climate crisis-would not have been possible.
