In 2017, specialists performed more than 321 transplants, including 10 artificial heart implantations.
Bambino Gesù was the first hospital in Europe to cover all pediatric medical specialties. The hospital treats genetic, metabolic, oncological, neurodegenerative, and many other conditions in children.
International patients receive assistance with visas and documentation, hotel bookings, and family accommodation. A child’s recovery is also supported by Italy’s mild and pleasant climate, environmentally clean surroundings, and the healthy air in the area where the hospital is located.
