The “Spedale degli Innocenti” (Florence, 1419) was the fi rst institution devoted to child care; and is not by chance that it was an orphanage, because the “hospital” concept was then more related to hosting and careing than to health. It was in the 19th century when the pediatric hospitals, as we know them today, appear in Europe (L'Hôpital Des Enfants-Malades, Paris, 1802) and North America (Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, 1855); surprisingly “Casa Cuna” (Hospital de Niños Pedro de Elizalde, Buenos Aires, 1779) was already there, witnessing the foundation of both institutions Considerando la historia de la medicina, la pediatría es relativamente reciente, al igual que las instituciones donde ésta se desarrolla. El “Spedale degli Innocenti” (Florencia, 1419) fue la primera institución dedicada a los niños; y no es casualidad que se tratara de un orfanato, ya que el concepto de “hospital” estaba fundamentalmente relacionado con hospedar y dar protección. Recién a partir del siglo XIX comienzan a surgir los hospitales pediátricos en Europa (L'Hôpital Des Enfants-Malades, Paris, 1802) y América del Norte (Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, 1855); signifi cativamente la “Casa Cuna” (Hospital de Niños Pedro de Elizalde, Buenos Aires, 1779) estaba ya funcionando y asistió a la creación de ambas instituciones.
