Expansion and Renovation (1990-1996):
With the end of hostilities and the projected return from the USA of Dr. Sami Trad's two sons, Drs. Fouad and Karim, an ambitious expansion and renovation of the hospital facility was undertaken. It involved the complete rehabilitation and modernization of the original hospital structure at an estimated cost of 6 million USD, as well as the acquisition of new medical equipment at a total estimated cost of 6 million USD. The new outpatient building, which houses 24 specialty clinics as well as a state-of-the-art Diagnostic Center, was completed in 1995. During the following two years, the Hospital's operations continued in a temporary set-up and at a reduced level of activity. The final touches were completed in December of 1996, and the renovated Hospital and its brand new Medical Center became fully operational in early 1997.

Along with the structural rehabilitation and new capital investments, a major reorganization effort was initiated at the administrative level as well as the medical staffing level. The goal at the administrative level was to establish an aggressive, profit-oriented and modern management team. For this purpose, Consulting and Development Services (CDS), a management consultancy firm based in Beirut, was appointed to develop a strategic plan for the Hospital, and assisted the Board in the implementation of the final reorganization phases. As for the medical team, a core group of exceptionally well-qualified Specialists, mostly U.S. and French-trained, were appointed to the staff thereby boosting the scope as well as the quality of clinical activities at Trad Hospital.

A New Beginning (1997-2002):
Today, TRAD HOSPITAL is widely recognized in setting high standards of medical care and patient comfort. This is reflected in a steadily increasing level of activity since 1997.

For the year 2003, the projected indicators of activity are as follows :
• 6,800 inpatient admissions
• 30,000 outpatient visits (i.e. patients performing laboratory or x-ray examinations)
• 1,850 deliveries making Trad Hospital the busiest maternity in the country
• 3,300 surgical procedure and flexible endoscopies.
