== History ==
Succeeding to the ''conseil général des hospices de Paris'', the ''Administration générale de l'Assistance publique'' was created by a law of January 10, 1849.  In 1961, the AP-HP became the hospital system of Paris and its suburbs.

== Hospitals ==
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 [[Val-de-Grâce]], or [[Institut Curie]], and [[Institut Gustave Roussy]], Europe's leading cancer-research institute and the biggest health center dedicated to oncology in Europe.
The 6 university hospital groups of the AP-HP:
* [[AP-HP Sorbonne University Hospital Group]]
* AP-HP Paris Cité University Hospital Group
* AP-HP Paris-Saclay University Hospital Group
* AP-HP Henri Mondor Hospital Group
* AP-HP Paris Seine-Saint-Denis Hospital Group
