Bambino Gesù Children's Hospital initiatives

Overview

Bambino Gesù Children's Hospital has undertaken several initiatives to expand its medical and social impact. In September 2026, the hospital renewed a four-year healthcare cooperation agreement with the Italo-Latin American Institute (IILA). This long-standing partnership focuses on sharing clinical and scientific expertise, providing technical assistance, and training healthcare personnel to strengthen pediatric care networks in Latin American countries.

Following this, in October 2026, the hospital launched ‘Lo sport in OPBG, insieme per tutti’, an initiative designed to expand adaptive sports opportunities for children and adolescents with intellectual, motor, and relational disabilities. Working with the Italian Paralympic Committee (CIP), the program aims to increase annual participation from 60 to 250 children, facilitating a transition from hospital-based activities to continuous sports practice within local communities.
