The Department of Women, Children and Adolescents is tasked with providing quality care tailored to the needs of women at every stage of their lives and addressing the health issues faced by newborns, children and adolescents from birth up to the age of 16. It works on developing cutting-edge services and centres of expertise in specialities.
The Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Service (SPEA) manages hospital care in day hospital or outpatient settings for children and adolescents suffering from mental disorders. It provides holistic psychological and child psychiatric care, considering the patient as a whole, including their family and social network. SPEA is a category A training centre for postgraduate medical education.
The service occupies the new premises of the House of Childhood and Adolescence (MEA), which brings together all the service units in a particularly welcoming environment, specifically designed to improve the quality of care for the most vulnerable young patients.
