History:
It began ever since I was a medical student at AUB "American
University of Beirut", my dream was to
offer medical assistance in a humanitarian to as many patients
as possible; Al-Hayat Hospital was the solution.
Started in 1967 at Chiah, Beirut as a maternity of 30 beds. In
1968, and because of the urgent need of the community and our
surrounding it was turned to a general hospital & it stayed the
only Hospital in the region until after the civil war, when in
1977 other hospitals started to show.
After the war was over in 1990, Al Hayat Hospital underwent
rapid expansion in buildings and services , ICU, CCU, Fertility
center IVF, ICSI, etc.. with excellent results and it is the
only center in the southern maten area, this necessitated the
rapid development of ICN due to premature labor, and twins
deliveries. Our ICN holds 15 incubators, 15 monitors, 5
respirators one with I.V. pumps needed.
Surgery in all kinds- all specialties, general and endoscopic,
abdominal, gynecologic and endoscopic , disc surgery.
