Brief description:

The Centro Hospitalar Universitário do Porto (CHUP) results from the integration of a general university unit (Hospital de Santo António), of a specialized hospital in infectious-contagious diseases (Hospital Joaquim Urbano), of a pediatric hospital (Hospital Maria Pia) and a maternity hospital (Maternidade Júlio Dinis). The junction of the valences and specialties on pediatrics and women health from Hospital Santo António, Hospital Maria Pia and Maternidade Júlio Dinis, originated the Centro Materno-Infantil do Norte. This unit, integrated into CHUP, due to its technical differentiation and installed capacity, is legitimately a Reference Center in North region of Portugal in several areas of intervention.
