Sint Vincentius Hospital, Catholic hospital in Paramaribo, Suriname.
Sint Vincentius Hospital is a medical facility in central Paramaribo housing multiple departments and specialized care units. The building continues to serve the city's healthcare needs while maintaining its role as a recognized cultural landmark.
Sisters from the Netherlands established this hospital in 1916 as a charitable medical facility with modest initial capacity. Over the following decades, it grew into a key health institution serving Paramaribo.
The hospital represents an important chapter in how the Catholic Church shaped healthcare services in Paramaribo over generations. Walking through its spaces, you sense the legacy of religious institutions caring for the city's people.
The hospital sits in the city center with good road access from main thoroughfares. Keep in mind that this is an active medical facility, so standard visiting hours and visitor guidelines apply.
In 1970 management shifted from church control to civilian administration, yet the Catholic healthcare values stayed intact. This transition shows how the institution adapted to changing times while keeping its founding principles alive.
