History

Founded as Clinica Nacional (National Clinic), a small 10-bed facility with one OR, one delivery room and a small newborn unit, opened on 9 July 1973, in Justo Arosemena Avenue and 38th Street in Panama City, Panama. The hospital exclusively provided OB/GYN services, thus came quickly to be known as "Clinica de la Mujer" (The Women's Clinic). To sustain its growth to 25 beds, the hospital moved to a larger location in January 1980, just across the street.

Years later, in September 1994 "Centro Médico Nacional" (National Medical Center) opened its doors, a state-of-the-art Medical Office Building, that houses 110 specialists.

By this time the fame and demand on the small clinic made expansion feasible. On 20 August 1998, a brand-new hospital building was inaugurated, located next by, on Avenida Cuba between 38th and 39th Streets in Panama City and thus it is now known as Hospital Nacional.
