Here comes the Pequeno Príncipe North

The preliminary license to build the Pequeno Príncipe North (Juril Carnasciali Pequeno Príncipe Education and Research Hospital Complex) was signed on the 5th of June, kicking off a new phase in the 99-year history of Brazil’s largest pediatric hospital.

Pequeno Príncipe North’s project plans to build two new hospitals – a day hospital and a high complexity unit –, Pequeno Príncipe College and Pelé Pequeno Príncipe Research Institute buildings and a Cultural Center. Pequeno Príncipe North will be an addition to the current Hospital and will represent an expansion of the healthcare currently offered to the population.

Many authorities were present during the preliminary license signing ceremony and among them was the mayor of Curitiba, Rafael Greca, that highlighted the importance of a hospital like Pequeno Príncipe in the northern region of the city. “I am very happy to authorize this new hospital’s activities. Pequeno Príncipe is a center of excellence,” he pointed out.
