Humanitas
Research & University Hospital
Who we are Humanitas is a highly-specialised hospital, research, and teaching center, which hosts Humanitas University, an academic institute dedicated to medical sciences. Built around centers for the prevention and treatment of cancer, cardiovascular, neurological, autoimmune, inflammatory, and orthopoedic diseases – together with an Ophthalmic Center and a Fertility Center – Humanitas also operates a highly specialised Emergency Department. The first Italian hospital quality-certified by Joint Commission International, Humanitas is accredited by Italy’s National Health Service. Humanitas promotes health, prevention, and early diagnosis, by means of innovative and advanced outpatient healthcare facilities. Appointed as an IRCCS by the Ministry of Health (an accreditation in the Italian system that acknowledges institutions focused on excellence in clinical care and research), Humanitas is a high profile, internationally well known center of excellence for immune systemrelated diseases, from cancer to rheumatoid arthritis. Humanitas Research Hospital is the flagship of a hospital group also present in Milan, Bergamo, Turin, Catania and Castellanza (Varese).
