History

This Hospital was built in the seventies of the last century, just before the beginning of the civil war in Lebanon. The Hospital was named after the late Dr. Monzer El Hajj who was preparing himself to run the hospital, but died early of liver cancer. The Hospital was established by an NGO called "Good Deed"
From the year 1974, and till the year 2007, the hospital was functioning normally and provided good services to the population of the town and the surrounding area. During that period there were about 35 patient beds, one emergency unit, one operating theatre, pre-delivery and delivery room .The diagnostic services constituted from an imaging unit with x ray machine and a simple laboratory.
In the year 2007, and due to the introduction of the accreditation system of the Lebanese hospitals, the hospital could not meet the requirements of the set standards and was closed. An extension was added in the year early eighties but was never used.
An agreement was reached between the "Good Deed" NGO & the Company "Abou Shakra Properties" Where the outcome of the agreement gives privilege to "Abou Shakra Properties" to run the hospital for a period of 15 years under a new management
