Bicêtre Hospital, Historical medical center in Le Kremlin-Bicêtre, France

The hospital complex spans multiple buildings within the southern suburbs of Paris, providing medical services to the surrounding communities through its extensive facilities.

Founded in 1642 as an orphanage with support from Vincent de Paul, the institution later transformed into a component of the Hôpital Général de Paris in 1656.

Philippe Pinel introduced new methods for treating mental health patients at Bicêtre Hospital in 1793, marking a shift in psychiatric care practices.

The medical facility maintains 301 beds and operates an emergency department, serving as part of the Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris network.

The institution functioned simultaneously as an orphanage, prison, mental health facility, and hospital throughout different periods of its existence.
