HERTFORD BRITISH HOSPITAL CORPORATION, PARIS is a UK registered charity operating in the Paris region. The Hertford British Hospital was founded in 1871 by Sir Richard Wallace for the medical and surgical treatment of "indigent and sick British nationals in and around Paris". It was named after his father, the 4th Marquess of Hertford, and opened on its present site in 1879. 130 years later it is still an active charity and in 2008 merged with the neighbouring Hôpital de Perpetuel Secours to form the Institut Hospitalier Franco-Britannique (IHFB). In 2019, the IHFB became part of the healthcare group Fondation Cognacq-Jay, under the name of Hôpital Franco-Britannique. The Hertford British Hospital Corporation ensures that the medical facility founded by Sir Richard Wallace continues to serve the local and English-speaking communities through the provision of the premises used by the Hôpital Franco-Britannique, the International Centre for Dermatology (Centre International de Dermatologie) and the British Charitable Fund.
