history

The national hospital goes back to an infirmary of the French colonial administration , which was set up in 1922 at the instigation of the French governor Jules Brévié . This consisted of three buildings and served the medical care of the auxiliary workers of the colonial administration. In favor of the new facility in Niamey, an outpatient clinic in the city of Zinder, which had been set up in 1920, was given up.

The Hôpital Jules Brévié (Jules Brévié Hospital) emerged from the infirmary and opened on May 31, 1931. Initially, the hospital only had ten beds, which were reserved for Europeans. In 1938 it received its first operating theater and in 1943 it was expanded into a full hospital under the direction of doctor Francis Borrey . A mental health service was introduced in 1955.

After Niger gained independence in 1960, the hospital was elevated to a national and reference hospital in 1962. In 1992 it was given the legal form of an institution of public law and administrative character.
