Central Clinic Hospital is a healthcare centre with a history of half a century. The project plan of the hospital building was done in 1963 and construction was finished in 1965. Started from 1965 till 1999 The Hospital №1 under the 4th Controlling Department, Ministry of Health of Azerbaijan Republic was functioning here. Famous doctor and prominent health officer Mejid Hajiyev was a first head doctor of this hospital. Initially the hospital provided care to special a group of persons such as ranking officials and public leaders.During a first year of Azerbaijan independence, for a short time this hospital was working as Hospital №1 under the Rehabilitation department of Ministry of health. By the personal older of National leader Heydar Aliyev, for a short period of time (01.05.1999-01.03.2001) reconstruction was done in the hospital and at 24.04.2001, new international standard hospital under the Turkish AHSEL Holding was opened. AHSEL Holding rented a hospital for 10 years. From that period of time Self- financing Central Clinical Hospital under Ministry of Health started to work. In 2007 as a result of high appraisal of President of Azerbaijan Republic Mr. Ilham Aliyev, from hospital performance, The Central Clinic was passed on from AHSEL to Special Medical Service under President Administration. 25 June 2009 The Ambulatory of Central Clinic was opened.

So that now Central Clinic Baku gives care to the patients at the 2 different places in Baku: Central Clinic Hospital at 12 Parlament Ave. and 5 Zerife Aliyeva St.Reasons and importance of openingAfter the fall of the Soviet Union and proclamation of independence, social-economic problems affected health care sector as all other sectors in the country and brought to very difficult situation. The medical equipment in hospitals was old and out of order; it was not possible to give good quality care to the patients. People had to go abroad for a diagnostic and treatment of simple medical disorders. It leads to difficulties for the patients and increase lack of confidence to the National Health care system. This situation was a reason for money flowing out of the country as well. Some highly skilled doctors went abroad for work; others who continued to work here were not able to improve their practical and theoretical skills. This situation was emphasized by National leader Heydar Aliyev during his speech at the opening ceremony of our hospital: During late years we noticed that treatment and even diagnostics of some diseases became impossible in Azerbaidjan. The modern Healthcare system should be based on scientific findings, technological advances, practical skills and available resources from all over the world. So that, opening a new highest quality healthcare center became a very actual problem. Opening a new modern medical center needed a good financial resource, but situation in the country was not contented, so allocation of funds for foundation of new hospital was a very brave action. And this was done by National leader Heydar Aliyev, as a far-sighted politician, he decided to open Central Clinic Hospital and allocated money for it.So we can say that Central Clinic is a major contribution to Healthcare system of our country which was done by National leader and founder of independent Azerbaijan, Heydar Aliyev.Activities and progressFor 14 years of giving care to the community Central Clinic Hospital realize all objectives which were assigned up an opening and continue to work in the same way.During a short period of time Central Clinic becomes a well known multidiscipline Healthcare center working according to international standards in Azerbaijan and Caucasus.Central Clinic provides the best care, basing on scientific, technological and practical progress with the help of qualified staff.
