Welcome to the “Agia Sophia” Children’s Hospital
We are here to care for the most precious thing in your life: your child’s health. As the largest paediatric hospital in the country, we are committed to providing high-quality medical care with respect, compassion and understanding for the needs of every young patient and their family.
A Warm Embrace of Specialists
Care in our hospital is a team effort. Alongside your child are not only our experienced doctors and nurses, but an entire support team:
- Social Workers & Psychologists for the psychosocial support of the family.
- Teachers who run the hospital school, so that children do not lose touch with learning.
- Volunteers & Educators who take care of play and recreation.
To provide comprehensive healthcare services to every child, regardless of social or financial status. Our goal is treatment, prevention and health promotion, through continuous research and education, but above all with humanity.
A hospital... that does not feel like a hospital.
We know that the hospital environment can be frightening for children. That is why we make every effort, every day, to make our spaces more cheerful and familiar.
Colourful walls, drawings, play areas and creative activity spaces can be found in various areas of the hospital. We believe that a smile and a positive state of mind are the first step towards healing.
The “Agia Sophia” Children’s Hospital was founded in 1897 and is the oldest and largest paediatric hospital in Greece. It began with Princess Sophia’s vision of creating a hospital exclusively for children and today, after more than a century of service, it continues to evolve. We continuously integrate new treatments, technologies and international practices, while remaining faithful to our values.
