Hospital Al-Janoub was one of the first hospitals established in the south of Lebanon.
It was approved on building the property in 1969, and the hospital opened officially in January 1,1970, and work started during that year.
Founded by Dr. Wehbe Shuayb, it had few specialties and a small number of staff.
It had a capacity of 24 beds and two floors and a basement. After 5 years, 2 other floors were added and the beds increased to 50. On 1980 the eastern side was added with other 50 beds increasing the capacity to 100 beds. A new emergency room and the kitchen were added as well. On 1983 a new nursing school was established in the property. And the improvements continued with the foundation of the radiology department and the laboratory department, all equipped with the newest machines at the time.

But unfortunately and as many other hospitals in Lebanon and in the south in specific, the hospital was hurt during the war, and all the staff suffered from the bad situation.
Many of the good doctors left the country during the Jewish invasion to Lebanon in 1982 which affected directly and badly the work of the hospital.
After the war and as the country was still trying to go on, a very bad economical condition was affecting all the businesses in Lebanon. The medical sector was affected to a big extent, and the hospital got affected and faced many problems.

The hospital now is trying to enter a new era and a new period and to challenge all the bad times and conditions it passed through. Many of the old departments are renovated and many new departments are added.
