We need your help
The Amici dell'Infanzia Foundation, based at the Luigi Sacco Hospital, has as its main goals scientific research, prevention, diagnosis, and the treatment of pediatric diseases.

Pet Therapy
The new edition of the Pet Therapy Project will begin in the coming days, created by the Pediatric Clinic of the University of Milan at the L. Sacco Hospital in collaboration with the Amici dell’Infanzia Onlus Foundation.

Masks Off
Mental health disorders, such as attention problems, hyperactivity, anxiety, and depression, have been described in children and adolescents with HIV infection. We evaluate the impact of HIV infection on these disorders and the socio-environmental risk factors.

Drama Therapy
To accompany the process of communicating an HIV diagnosis, we have developed theatrical performances assisted by professional actors, which saw the extensive participation of HIV-positive youth.

If you have suffered, then you can understand
“I was told that I shouldn’t be afraid because nothing will change, but now that I know, I have to be careful; I mustn’t tell anyone, because my illness scares those who don’t have it more than those who do.”
