Pacifica Salud Hospital

Pacífica Salud was born more than 20 years ago as an idea from a group of Panamanian physicians and entrepreneurs who wanted to bring the highest standards of international medicine to Panama. That vision led to a formal affiliation with Johns Hopkins Medicine International and the creation of a modern hospital designed from day one around safety, quality, and advanced technology.

• 2006: Opening of Pacífica Salud Hospital Punta Pacífica in one of Panama City’s most important business districts.
• 2006: Operating license obtained for Hospital Punta Pacífica.
• 2006: Formal affiliation with Johns Hopkins Medicine International.
• 2007: First kidney transplant at Pacífica Salud.
• 2007: First cardiovascular surgery at the hospital.
• 2022: Opening of Pacífica Salud Hospital Costa del Este, a second modern campus at Town Center, Costa del Este, also affiliated with Johns Hopkins Medicine International.

Today, Pacífica Salud operates as a two-campus hospital system in Panama City, serving both local and international patients with a focus on high-complexity care, continuous innovation, and the development of human talent.
