A group of Jewish community members in São Paulo founded the Sociedade Beneficente Israelita Brasileira Albert Einstein (SBIBAE) in 1955.[3] The SBIBAE began construction of the Albert Einstein Hospital three years later on 14 September 1958 on land donated by Ema Gordon Klabin.[4] The hospital was inaugurated on 28 July 1971.[3]

In 1999, it was the first health institution outside the United States to be certified by the Joint Commission International.[citation needed]
