San Bartolomé National Hospital

San Bartolomé Mother–Child National Teaching Hospital (Hospital Nacional Docente Madre Niño San Bartolomé, HNDMNSB) is a public teaching hospital that specialises in pediatric and maternal care located in Alfonso Ugarte Avenue, in front of Archbishop Loayza National Hospital, in Lima, Peru. It is administered by the Ministry of Health (MINSA). It was founded during the viceregal era, to care for freed blacks. Originally, its headquarters were in the current block 9 of the jirón Miró Quesada, in Barrios Altos. With the establishment of the Republic, it became a military hospital. In 1961 it was transformed into a maternal and children's hospital. In 1988 it moved to the location it currently occupies, on the eighth block of Alfonso Ugarte Avenue. In addition to its care function focused on mother and child, it is dedicated to teaching and research.
