Heim Pál National Pediatric Institute

Heim Pál National Pediatric Institute (Hungarian: Heim Pál Országos Gyermekgyógyászati Intézet) is a children's hospital located in several locations in Budapest, Hungary.

Heim Pál National Pediatric Institute was founded in 4 June 1908 as the Hungarian Royal State Children’s Asylum (Hungarian: Magyar Királyi Központi Állami Gyermekmenhelyet), an educational and health institution for orphaned children.

In 1953 it was named after János Bókai, a famous Hungarian pediatrician of the 19th century, and a few years later, it was renamed after Pál Heim, another famous pediatrician.
