Hospital Pereira Rossell is a children's hospital in Montevideo, Uruguay. Located in the Parque Batlle neighbourhood and founded in 1908, it was named in honour of Alejo Rossell y Rius and Dolores Pereira, who were the principal promoters of its establishment.[1]
It was the first paediatric hospital, and shortly afterwards the first maternity hospital when the obstetric and gynaecological clinic was installed in 1915. Later the hospital received a donation from Dr. Enrique Pouey for a radiotherapy unit.
The Fundación Pérez Scremini operates its pediatric oncology unit.
