History

The hospital was established by a legacy of a rich settler named Fortin, a native of Ivry, in the city of Algiers. In his will of 19 September 1840, he donated a sum of 1.2 million francs for the erection of a civilian hospital in Mustapha.[4]

At its inception in 1854, it was a military hospital with a barracks on 8 hectares. On 21 May 1855, the civilian doctors courses were open to students, and on 18 January 1859, official courses were inaugurated in the framework of the new School of Medicine of Algiers founded in 1857.[4]

After 1877, 14 pavilions were built to plans by the architect Jules Voinot. The first services were those of Pediatrics in 1883 and obstetrics in 1884. It was decided in 1920 to expand the hospital. The number of pavilions was doubled by 1930. There has been continual expansion since then.[4]
