History

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

In September 1994, Centro Médico Nacional (National Medical Center) opened, housing 110 specialists.

By that time, the smaller clinic's fame made further expansion feasible. On 20 August 1998, a new building was inaugurated on Avenida Cuba, between 38th and 39th Streets in Panama City, where the clinic was renamed Hospital Nacional.[2]
