Hospital Sirio Libanés

What Hospital Sirio Libanés does

Hospital Sirio Libanés is a non-profit acute care hospital (Asociación de Beneficencia) headquartered at Campana 4658, Villa Devoto, in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Founded in 1916 to serve Middle Eastern immigrants, it has evolved into a full-service 200-bed institution with modern operating rooms, an Intensive Care Unit, a Coronary Care Unit, a Hemodynamics Service built around a Phillips Integris 5000 digital angiography system, advanced diagnostic imaging, and an in-house clinical laboratory. It operates external outpatient clinics in Villa Devoto and an international branch in Asunción, Paraguay, and offers more than 60 medical specialties across inpatient, outpatient, and emergency services.

The institution runs a fully integrated digital and physical access model: a Patient Portal and Android mobile app enable online appointment booking, prescription and study-result retrieval, and clinical history access; a WhatsApp-based virtual assistant ('Leila') and phone-based scheduling supplement those channels; and telemedicine-enabled interconsultations are embedded in the outpatient clinics. It also operates its own Escuela de Enfermería (a three-year government-approved nursing program) and UBA-affiliated medical residencies in six specialties, plus a virtual campus for distance learning.

Revenue is generated primarily by delivering medical services billed through a network of more than 40 Obras Sociales (health insurance funds) and prepagas (private health plans), including OSDE, Swiss Medical, Galeno, Medicus, PAMI, and IOMA. The hospital is accredited by Fundación ITAES and its President, Dr. Ricardo Fabián Simes, currently serves as President of ACAMI (the leading non-profit healthcare chamber in Argentina) and as 1st Vocal Titular on the UAS board, positioning the institution at the center of Argentine healthcare policy and AI-in-health discourse.
