What Trad Hospital does

Trad Hospital (legal entity: Trad Hospital and Medical Center, THMC) is a 70-bed, family-owned community hospital in central Beirut, Lebanon, founded in 1939 by Dr. Fouad Trad — one of Beirut's first OBGYNs — and continuously operated by the founding family across three generations, currently governed by Dr. Fouad Trad, Dr. Karim Trad, and CFO/GM Rachad Assaf. The institution originated as an 8-bed maternity unit and expanded progressively, surviving the 1975-1990 civil war in close proximity to demarcation lines before undergoing post-war modernization and operating-room expansion in 1995 and 2006 respectively.

The hospital delivers a comprehensive portfolio of medical and surgical specialties anchored by Obstetrics & Gynecology and its proprietary HOPE Assisted Reproduction Unit (IVF, ICSI, GIFT, PGD), and extending across GYN Oncology, Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery, Ophthalmology & Advanced Eye Surgery, Orthopedics, ENT, General & Bariatric Surgery, plus diagnostic imaging (CT, digital X-ray, mammography, ultrasound), a 24-hour laboratory, ICU, NICU, and emergency services. Staffing comprises 248 full-time employees (78% women) and over 100 physicians, 90% of whom hold advanced specialty training abroad (US, Canada, France, Belgium, UK); annual throughput is approximately 25,000 outpatient visits, 1,500 deliveries, and 7,000 surgical procedures across 7 operating rooms. The hospital is academically affiliated with George Washington University (since 2004), Université Saint-Joseph (since 2014), and Haigazian University.

Commercial operations are direct-to-consumer and accept insurance with international patient services support; revenue models are not publicly disclosed. Patient acquisition is multi-channel: a 24-clinic Medical Office Building on-site, a referral partnership with Medical Desk International (MDx) in Baghdad for Iraqi patients, preferred-provider status with the French social-security fund CFE for French expatriates, and recognition by the Iraqi Embassy in Lebanon. The hospital supplements physical capacity with a multi-language (English/Arabic/French) telehealth platform serving Lebanon and abroad, and operates the proprietary TAC (Trad Analgesic Cocktail) painless childbirth method developed by Dr. Sami Trad in 1961 and validated at the University of Kiel in 1972, used in over 10,000 deliveries. Capital structure is debt-free with no external investor or religious-institution support.
