Pontevedra is well provided with quality private and public clinics and health centres, where the Montecelo Hospital stands out as the largest health centre in the comarca and one of the largest in the province.
This hospital is renowned by its oncology department.
Public health is regulated by the Galician Health Service (Servizo Galego de Saúde- SERGAS).
The city houses a number of university departments, acting as a branch of the University of Vigo.
Namely these are: Nursing, Forestry Technical Engineering, Physiotherapy, Educational Sciences and Sport, Social, Media and Communication Sciences.
Yet, many come to Pontevedra to complete their studies in Fine Arts, as this is the only location in Galicia where this discipline can be studied at university level.
Pontevedra also hosts a branch of the Spanish national distance university, the UNED.
The city has its own Official School of Languages (EOI Pontevedra), regulated by the Galician Department of Education.
Cultural infrastructure in Pontevedra is mainly represented by two venues: The Teatro Principal, in the old town, with a capacity of 434 seated spectators; and the Auditorium-Congress Hall, a modern complex composed by an auditorium with capacity for 772 seated people, a large congress hall, and a number of meeting rooms and smaller halls.
In addition, every year the City Council organises a series of free, open and public activities, such as a Jazz festival, open air cinema sessions, a medieval fair reenactment, and other festivities that normally take place in the streets and public squares of the old town.
