Hospital Curry Cabral (Portuguese pronunciation: [ɔʃ.piˈtaɫ ku.ˈʁi kɐˈβɾaɫ], "Curry Cabral Hospital") is a public Central Hospital serving the Greater Lisbon area as part of the Central Lisbon University Hospital Centre (CHULC), a State-owned enterprise.
Originally devised in the early 20th century as a specialised hospital for infectious diseases, Curry Cabral Hospital currently offers many other specialities: it is perhaps best known as the national reference centre on liver transplantation and hepato-bilio-pancreatic diseases, and as the only public physical medicine and rehabilitation inpatient care service in the Lisbon Metropolitan Area.
