History
editIt was first established by the British in the Ciudad Vieja under the name Hospital Extranjero (Foreign Hospital) in 1857. It moved to its current location under the current name in 1913; British architect John Adams authored the turn-of-the-century building.
For more than 40 years it has offered a private health insurance to its members called "British Hospital Scheme".[1]
