The Bambino Gesù Children’s Hospital

 >>

The Bambino Gesù Hospital accomplishes its institutional Christian testimony by providing public services in the healthcare field.

The Hospital, which was founded over one hundred and thirty years ago (1869), is now part of the network of the National Healthcare System in the city of Rome. Since 1980, due to its prestige and to the strengthening of its relations with the Italian National Health System, it has become a significant point of reference for paediatrics at the national level.

The trademark of the hospital in the last thirty years has been the high level of specialization in the treatment of children coming not only from Rome or Italy, but also from European neighbouring countries.

In 1985 it was officially recognized as Istituto di Ricovero e Cura a Carattere Scientifico IRCCS (Research Hospital), thus being included among the most important national comprehensive hospitals and becoming one of the three childen’s research hospitals in Italy.

Within the framework of the National Healthcare System, the structure of the hospital has undergone significant revision, following the new organization processes of the Italian Public Administration and public healthcare in particular.
