Alfredo da Costa Maternity
Alfredo da Costa Maternity, Public maternity hospital in Avenidas Novas, Lisbon, Portugal
Alfredo da Costa is a public maternity hospital in Avenidas Novas that specializes in obstetrics, gynecology, and newborn care. The facility is part of the Central Lisbon University Hospital Centre and operates dedicated departments for pregnant women and infants.
Construction began in 1914 but faced delays due to World War I, with the building finally opening on December 5, 1932. The extended timeline reflects the difficulties that healthcare projects faced during this turbulent period.
The hospital carries the name of Manuel Vicente Alfredo da Costa, a surgeon who championed the creation of maternity facilities in Lisbon starting in 1898. His legacy continues to shape how locals view this place as a center where medical care and social progress meet.
The hospital is located on Rua Viriato and operates as part of the public healthcare system with emergency services available around the clock. Visitors should expect longer waiting times and plan to use public transportation for access.
The hospital received recognition as an Honorary Member of Portugal's Order of Merit in 1983 for its healthcare contributions. This acknowledgment highlights the institution's lasting importance beyond its medical role in the community.
