History

Envisioned in 1978, the Cardiovascular and Thoracic Centre of Monaco opened in April 1987. With support from Monegasque authorities, the CCM was designed to address the shortage of beds in cardiology in the PACA region, but also to offer patients from all around the Mediterranean cutting-edge equipment.

The CCM has been used for humanitarian purposes.William Spindler, [http://www.unhcr.org/4df8bd326.html Monaco's Prince Albert visits young Iraqi refugee recovering from heart surgery], UNCHR, 15 June 2011 In 2010, CCM was nominated by Siemens to be the first Siemens European Reference Center Cardiovascular Medicine.[http://www.medical.siemens.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/NewsView~q_catalogId~e_-11~a_categoryId~e_12754~a_catTree~e_100011,1011114~a_langId~e_-11~a_pageId~e_136393~a_storeId~e_10001.htm Siemens partners with Cardiothoracic Centre of Monaco], Siemens.com, 20 October 2010
