Bambino Gesù Children’s Hospital, Roma, Italy

The Bambino Gesù Pediatric Hospital (Italian: Ospedale Pediatrico Bambino Gesù) is a children's hospital located in Rome, Italy. It accomplishes its institutional Christian testimony by providing public services in the healthcare field. The hospital, which was founded in 1869, is now part of the network of the National Healthcare System in the city of Rome on extraterritorial area administered by the Holy See. 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 neighbouring European countries. In 1985 it was officially recognized as a research hospital (Istituto di Ricovero e Cura a Carattere Scientifico), thus being included among the most important national comprehensive hospitals and becoming one of the three children’s research hospitals in Italy.
