The Hertford British Hospital was founded in 1871 by Sir Richard
Wallace for the medical and surgical treatment of "indigent and sick
British nationals in and around Paris". It was named after his
father, the 4th Marquess of Hertford.
The Hertford British Hospital was opened on its present site
in 1879. 130 years later it is still an active charity and has recently
merged with the neighbouring Hôpital de Perpetuel Secours to form the Institut Hospitalier
Franco-Britannique(http://www.ihfb.org).
The Hertford British Hospital Charity ensures that the medical
facility founded by Sir Richard Wallace continues to serve the local and
English-speaking communities.
In addition to the task of managing the Institut Hospitalier
Franco-Britannique, which it shares with representatives of the Oeuvre
de Perpétuel Secours in a joint management structure, the Charity also
provides premises for the International Centre for Dermatology (Centre
International de Dermatologie), a local Centre for the Protection of
Mothers and Infants, a local Family Planning clinic and the British
Charitable Foundation.

Institut Hospitalier Franco-Britannique at http://www.ihfb.org
for all matters relating to in- and out-patient care.
