Great Ormond Street Hospital is an international centre of excellence and is recognised as one of the few truly world-class hospitals for children.

The Harris International Patient Centre is a state-of-the-art unit where we care for children who require specialist treatments that are unavailable in their own countries. The majority of our patients are funded by their own governments/embassies while others are funded through insurance companies, charities or are self-paying.

Great Ormond Street Hospital has been a pioneer in paediatrics ever since it admitted its first patients in 1852 and continues to be a global leader in the treatment of sick children. The hospital's many world-firsts and groundbreaking medical developments give new hope to children and families around the world.

In the United Kingdom, under the patronage of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, Great Ormond Street Hospital is the leading research hospital for children and has the widest range of children's specialists under one roof.
