Not all hospitals in AP-HP have all the specialties. AP-HP is characterized by very specialized departments which allows offering the best care for patients by very experienced professionals. Within the same specialty, different departments in different hospitals are experts in different branches of the same specialty.
AP-HP is not the sole healthcare operator in Paris. The trust shares with duties alongside military hospitals such as
