The Hospital is a reference point in Italy and abroad and it is connected to the most important pediatric centers in Europe and the United States. In 1985, it has been nationally and internationally recognized by the Italian Ministry of Health as a Scientific Institute of hospitalization and healthcare with an adequate supply of resources, personnel and means. Health Care and Scientific Research The Bambino Gesù Children's Hospital combines a high specialized medical healthcare with an intensive scientific research. There are about 2,600 doctors, researchers, nurses, technicians and volunteers to promote the continuous progress in diagnosis and therapy, in order to achieve ever higher levels of compassionate healthcare.
