The hospital has treated several heads of state and other notable individuals.
Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat was treated at Percy hospital from October 29, 2004, until his death on November 11, 2004. During his stay at Percy, he had fallen into an increasingly deeper coma despite intensive care.
Bassel Fleihan, a Lebanese legislator and Minister of Economy and Commerce was treated at Percy, having suffered major burns on 95% of his body when a massive bomb exploded on the Beirut seafront as he passed by in former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik al-Hariri's motorcade on February 14, 2005. Despite being seated beside Hariri, who was killed when the explosion occurred, Fleihan lived through the attack and was airlifted to Percy where he survived for 64 days before succumbing to his injuries.
