Hôpital Universitaire Justinien is the main hospital in the second largest city in Haiti, Cap-Haïtien. It is located close to the center of the city near the Place d'Armes Cathedral. The hospital is named after Justinien Etienne,Recueil des lois et actes de la République d'Haïti de 1887 à 1904, Volume 1. Haiti, by Claudius Ganthier a local magistrate who spearheaded and oversaw the construction of the hospital. Hôpital Universitaire Justinien began as a hospice in 1890 and was later transformed into a hospital in 1920 during the United States occupation of Haiti.

Hôpital Universitaire Justinien is a teaching hospital with 250 inpatient beds, with approximately 60 medical residents training in disciplines including internal medicine, general surgery, family medicine, pediatrics, obstetrics/gynecology, urology, orthopedic surgery, otolaryngology, and anesthesiology. With help from the University of Miami, the hospital was the first in Haiti to start a family medicine residency program.{{Cite web |url=http://familymedicine.med.miami.edu/international-health |title=The University of Miami Department of Family Medicine and Community Health: The Haiti Project |access-date=2015-12-26 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151226215846/http://familymedicine.med.miami.edu/international-health |archive-date=2015-12-26 |url-status=dead }} The hospital has a laboratory, pharmacy and radiology services for both inpatients and outpatients.
