Heim Pál National Pediatric Institute
Heim Pál National Pediatric Institute (Hungarian: Heim Pál Országos Gyermekgyógyászati Intézet) is a children's hospital located in several locations in Budapest, Hungary.
History
[edit]Heim Pál National Pediatric Institute was founded in 4 June 1908 as the Hungarian Royal State Children’s Asylum (Hungarian: Magyar Királyi Központi Állami Gyermekmenhelyet), an educational and health institution for orphaned children.[1] Throughout and after the First World War, it operated as an orphanage.[2]
After the Second World War, it was renovated and became a national institute for treating children. In 1953 it was named after János Bókai, a famous Hungarian pediatrician of the 19th century, and a few years later, it was renamed after Pál Heim, another famous pediatrician.[2] By this time, the Children's Hospital was operating with 555 beds.[2] In 2005, the Children's Hospital was merged with Madarász utcai Gyermekkórház, another well-known and respected Hungarian children's hospital.[3]
