Hospital del Salvador

Hospital del Salvador is a public hospital and historical monument in Providencia that provides specialized medical services to Santiago's metropolitan region. The complex sits along Avenida Salvador and houses various clinical departments, laboratories, and emergency facilities.

The hospital was founded on December 7, 1871, and has provided medical services continuously for more than 150 years. Over the decades, it evolved from a basic facility into a modern center for high-complexity medical care.

The building displays a mix of older architectural features and modern additions, showing how medical infrastructure evolved over time. The place reflects how Santiago renewed its healthcare facilities while keeping their history alive.

The facility is accessible Monday through Friday during business hours, with round-the-clock emergency services for patients needing immediate attention. Visitors should know this is an operating medical facility with set workflows and departmental schedules.

The building holds the rare combination of being both an active medical facility and a designated historical monument of Chile. This dual role means the institution continues serving patients while its architectural features remain protected.
