Central Lisbon University Hospital Center (CHULCentral) has 500 years of history caring for patients and training health professionals.
At the origin of the center are the Civil Hospitals of Lisbon, HCL, and, before that, in the 15th century, the Hospital of Todos-Os-Santos. It is from these early times that the current identifying symbol of the center, “Omnia Santorum”, comes from.

CHULCentral is made up of six hospitals: Hospital São José (H.S.J.), Hospital Santo António dos Capuchos (H.S.A.C.), Hospital Santa Marta (H.S.Marta), Hospital Dona Estefânia (H.D.E.), Hospital Curry Cabral (H.C.C.) and Alfredo da Costa Maternity Hospital (M.A.C.).

Among other relevant services for Lisbon and for the country, CHULC operates three Emergency Departments: for adults, at HSJ, pediatric, at HDE and obstetric, at MAC.

More than 8000 professionals work at CHULC, where history is connected to technology and innovation. In these hospitals you find the most experienced robotic surgery teams and the most important transplantation units in the country working inside historical buildings filled with beautiful tiles. Also, you find our ECMO rescue team, that transport critically ill patients from all the country in order to treat them with this life-saving therapy.

Innovating in care through history is what you will find here.
