Healthcare tradition going back over a century — today’s technology with a humane and caring approach

The initiative was then taken by a group of British, American, and German immigrants, along with leading members of the community from the city’s “traditional families”, who founded Sociedade Hospital Evangélico in 1890, later reamed Hospital Samaritano.

Twentieth-century industrialization meant that São Paulo grew quickly. The hospital too expanded and modernized to provide better treatment conditions.

Hospital Samaritano kept up with advances in medicine by investing in equipment and technology to offer new clinical and surgical specialties, while ensuring that it developed its human resources too, physicians and health professionals, and administrative staff. From a small general hospital, it grew into a solidly based private institution that was not only self-supporting but also raising funds to run its philanthropic activities.

Samaritano is recognized as one of the best hospitals in the country, and everything in its long record of caring for people, now going back for over a century, shows the importance of the human side of medicine.
