2021 milestones

The most important events of the Pequeno Príncipe Complex

  • Through a partnership with the Society for Wildlife Research and Environmental Education (SPVS), Pequeno Príncipe neutralized its greenhouse gases emissions – it was the second health institution in Brazil (and the first pediatric hospital) to achieve this result.
  • Pequeno Príncipe Hospital implemented the Telehealth Service. The technology to serve children and adolescents at a distance was first made available to SUS patients.
  • Igualdades: Accessible and Inclusive Hospital Project, completed in July, modernized two elevators, adapted 17 rooms and bathrooms, improved the visual programming of the entire Hospital for patients with visual impairments (using large letters and writing in Braille) and brought playful games for children with disabilities.
  • The Surgical Center Innovation project, also completed in 2021, installed 71 state-of-the-art equipment, with a total value of more than US$ 760,000. The highlight was a surgical microscope with fluorescence and a videoconferencing system, which allows online transmission (from the operating room to the auditorium) and thus expands the resources for professional training.
  • Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) therapy, a state-of-the-art technology that temporarily replaces the function of the heart and lungs, began to be applied after a phase of testing. The procedure had its first success in Pequeno Príncipe by allowing the recovery of a 5-month-old baby.
  • The academic output of the Research Institute has doubled in relation to the average of previous years. A total of 87 articles was published, many in top quality scientific journals.
