Hôpital Henri Gastaut

Tucked away in Marseille’s 9th arrondissement, Hôpital Henri Gastaut has witnessed decades of medical innovation and human stories. It’s not just a building; it’s a living testament to the relentless pursuit of understanding the complexities of the human brain. Hôpital Henri Gastaut first opened its doors in 1960. It was the brainchild of Professor Henri Gastaut, a visionary neurologist. The hospital quickly became a cornerstone of epilepsy treatment. Each year, Hôpital Henri Gastaut welcomes approximately 3,000 patients seeking specialized care for epilepsy and other neurological conditions. The hospital stands as a beacon of hope for these individuals. In recent years, Hôpital Henri Gastaut has undergone significant restructuring. The goal was to enhance the care provided to epilepsy patients. This involved streamlining access to the advanced technological resources available at the University Hospital Center (CHU) de la Timone. As part of the reorganization, the neuropediatrics and adult epileptology services at La Timone were expanded. This allowed them to accommodate patients transferring from Hôpital Henri Gastaut. The physicians who dedicated their time and expertise to Hôpital Henri Gastaut continued their important work at La Timone. Patients with existing appointments were personally contacted and informed about the new location for their care. For any new appointments or further information, patients are now directed to contact La Timone directly. The hospital’s location at 300 Boulevard Sainte-Marguerite makes it accessible. You can reach it via bus lines 24 and 46. The metro line M2, along with the A50 and A55 motorways, provide further access options. It’s more than just an address. It represents a continuity of care and expertise.
