Hôpital du Sacré-Coeur

What Hôpital du Sacré-Coeur does

Hôpital du Sacré-Cœur is a 175-bed multi-specialty tertiary-care hospital located in Hazmieh, Baabda, Lebanon, and operated since its 1848 founding by the Congrégation des Filles de la Charité de St Vincent de Paul, a Catholic religious congregation. The hospital traces its origins to a dispensary established during an 1855 cholera epidemic and was formally named Hôpital du Sacré-Cœur in 1881; the current facility was inaugurated at the Hazmieh-Baabda campus on May 1, 1965, with major expansion completed between 1994 and 1999 that added the Mother-Child Center, a Cardiac Surgery Center, a Radiotherapy Center with linear accelerator, and polyclinics.

The hospital's service portfolio spans medical departments (internal medicine, gastroenterology, pneumology, neurology, nephrology, oncology, cardiology, dermatology, rheumatology, endocrinology, infectious diseases), surgical departments (general, urology, cardio-vascular, thoracic, ENT, ophthalmology, orthopedics, neurosurgery, plastic, kidney transplantation), pediatrics, gynecology-obstetrics, a 24/7 emergency department, hemodialysis, advanced imaging (CT, MRI, nuclear medicine scintigraphy, interventional radiology), and a polyclinic system. Underlying technology centers on specialized clinical equipment — a linear accelerator for radiotherapy, cardiac and cerebral catheterization labs, MRI, CT, and nuclear medicine — rather than proprietary software platforms.

The business model is direct service delivery under a third-party payer (tiers-payant) insurance system, supplemented by out-of-pocket patient payments, with revenue not publicly disclosed. The hospital employs 101-250 staff, is accredited by the Lebanese Ministry of Public Health, and is affiliated with the Lebanese University as a teaching hospital. GTM is direct-to-consumer via the Hazmieh-Baabda facility, supported by a website, social media channels, and community outreach under its Catholic charitable mission.
