El Dr. Joan Meléndez Rusiñol es va llicenciar en medicina i cirurgia l`any 1980 a la Facultat de Medicina UA de Barcelona, Unitat docent Vall d’Hebron. Allí mateix va fer l’especialitat de Ginecologia i Obstetrícia via MIR, del 1981 al 1984.

Poc després de finalitzar la seva formació va tornar a Girona on va entrar com a adjunt a l’hospital de Santa Caterina. 

Entre els anys 1989 i 1992 va exercir de Director mèdic de l’Hospital, feina que va compaginar amb el càrrec de cap de Servei de Ginecologia i Obstetricia, posició que ha ocupat fins al dia d’avui. 

Sempre buscant estar actualitzat, el Dr. Meléndez ha fet vàries estades i cursos tan nacionals com a l’estranger (França, Itàlia...), buscant aprendre les millors i més avançades tècniques diagnòstiques i quirúrgiques per poder oferir un servei de primer nivell a les seves pacients. 

El Dr. Meléndez ha dedicat gran part de la seva carrera profesional al servei de Ginecologia i Obstetrícia on una atenció a l’embaràs i el part respectuosa amb els desitjos de la pacient han estat sempre la prioritat. 

Aquesta mentalitat l’ha transmès sempre també a la seva pràctica privada, on les pacients embarassades han sentit respectades les seves preferencia i han pogut optar pel tipus de part que han volgut, sempre que les condicions mèdiques ho hagin permès.

Dr. Joan Meléndez Muñoz graduated in medicine in 2004 from the Autonomous University of Barcelona.

He is a specialist in Obstetrics and Gynecology by the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG) in the UK, of which he has been a member since 2013.

There he worked almost exclusively treating patients with problems related to pelvic floor dysfunction, especially urinary incontinence, prolapse and obstetric related injuries.

In 2017, the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RANZCOG) elevated Dr. Melendez Munoz to the category of Fellow for his extensive experience and contribution to the specialty during his time in Australia.

Dr. Meléndez Muñoz currently leads the Pelvic Floor Unit at the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department at the Hospital Universitari Josep Trueta de Girona. His role involves clinical work as well as training and development of research projects.

He is a member of the Terminology and Standards Committee of the International UroGynecology Association (IUGA) and the Terminology Committee of the International Continence Society (ICS).

He has presented research papers at various international congresses, he has been invited as a tutor and moderator to courses on pelvic surgery and has been widely published in the field of gynecology and obstetrics.
