Avicenne Hospital

Avicenne Hospital is a teaching hospital in Bobigny that provides care across numerous medical specialties and serves as a major employer in the area. The facility operates multiple surgical units and departments dedicated to different types of treatment and patient care.

The facility opened in 1935 as the Franco-Muslim Hospital, created to serve North African immigrants living in the Paris area. Over time it developed into a modern teaching hospital with expanded medical capabilities and infrastructure.

The facility honors the Persian physician Avicenna through its name, chosen in 1978 to recognize medical knowledge from different traditions. This choice reflects the hospital's origins as a healthcare provider for North African communities.

The location is easily accessible by public transport and straightforward to locate in the area. Keep in mind this is an active medical facility where quiet behavior is expected and normal visiting rules apply.

The Larrey pavilion features a three-story design with interior courtyards built specifically for patient well-being. These internal spaces bring natural light and open air into the building, allowing patients to experience outdoor elements during treatment.
