On the sixth of August 1906, the Melkite Arshbishop of Fourzol, Zahle and the Bekaa Kirillos Moghabghab, lay down the hospital's foundation stone, on the estate nº279-Haouch El-Omaraa's land region. On the initiative of the Greek-Melkite Catholic charity association, that was the embryo of the great present institution.

•           The main building construction started sluggish due to lack of funds, then stopped completely during first world war in 1914. The work was resumed when Archbishop Aphtimos Youakim took charge of the bishopric's responsibility in 1926.

•           In 1937, a special laic committee composed of eminent leading citizens of the town, headed by the Archbishop, and another committee founded in New-York by Lebanese emigrants, full with enthusiasm and humanness, were constituted to go ahead with the projects.

•           The execution was interrupted again after the British army invaded the existing building of the hospital in 1939  during second world war. After the war ended, the committees took  up again actively, and succeed in ending the construction and in providing the necessary medial equipments.

•           In August 1949, the hospital was ceremoniously inaugurated under the patronage of his Excellency the president of the Lebanese Republic, Sheikh Bechara El-Khoury and his Beatitude Patriarch of the Catholic Church Maximos IX Sayegh and in the presence of the committees and notable personalities from Lebanon and the Arab Countries.

•           Ever since then, this hospital has progressed rapidly, by addition of new pavilions and the acquiring of new medical equipments. Most of the progress was shown after Archbishop Andre Haddad was appointed to head the Melkite Catholic Church at august 15th 1983. He transformed the hospital to a permanent open site… and led it to be the main hospitalizing institution in the Bekaa and the most comfortable place for patients.
