The Pediatric Hospital is part of the Coimbra Hospital and University Centre.
It has been granted university status through a protocol signed with the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Coimbra, and is innovative in diverse areas of pediatrics. Throughout the years, it has proven to be a very prestigious unit of assistance and a centre of national reference in terms of the pediatric treatment of complex or rare pathologies.
The premises where it was located up until recently were used for many different purposes throughout history: first it was a convent, later on an asylum for the blind and the cripple, and then a hospital-sanatorium for women and children with tuberculosis. When its mission in this area of care came to an end, and after going through significant difficulties, the reconversion and adaptation of the building into a hospital for children happened in June 1977.
The new building of the Pediatric Hospital, which was recently inaugurated, has distinct areas to care for younger children and teenagers up to the age of 18, and provides for a population of 500 000 users.
Telemedicine, especially associated to pediatric cardiology, is widely expanding in the Community of Portuguese-speaking Countries.
