Early origins of children’s hospitalsConcerned at the lack of medical services available to the sick children of Dublin, in 1821 several eminent doctors founded the city’s National Children’s Hospital. The hospital was among the first hospitals in the English-speaking world devoted exclusively to the care and treatment of sick children. Dr. Charles West, one of the hospital’s founders and one who had received medical training in Paris and Bonn where children’s health care was far more advanced, moved to London thirty years later and helped launch the Great Ormond Street Hospital. Opening on Valentines Day 1852, early supporters of the hospital included Queen Victoria, Lady Byron, and Charles Dickens, who gave readings from his “A Christmas Carol” to help raise money. Soon after, Dr. Francis W. Lewis of Philadelphia, was inspired by his visit to Great Ormond Street and returned to the U.S. to create the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, which opened in 1855. The first U.S. school of pediatric nursing was also launched at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia in 1895.
