Ahead of ongoing developments within the Principality of Monaco’s healthcare sector, Their Serene Highnesses Prince Albert II and Princess Charlene of Monaco presided over the inauguration of a new parent–child unit at the Centre Hospitalier Princesse Grace, located in the quartier of La Colle.

The inauguration took place in the presence of the Minister of Social Affairs and Health of Monaco, Christophe Robino, the Director of the Centre Hospitalier Princesse Grace, Benoîte Rousseau de Sevelinges, and the patron of the project, Dmitry Rybolovlev, owner of AS Monaco Football Club.

The new parent–child unit comprises four rooms designed to provide a family-centered environment. Parents are able to remain present at all times, ensuring continuous support for their child throughout hospitalization.

Intended for vulnerable newborns or those requiring specialized monitoring, the facility combines advanced medical care with the preservation of the essential bond between parent and child.

A multidisciplinary team, including pediatric nurses, midwives, childcare assistants, and physicians, supports each family through a coordinated, patient-centered approach.

This initiative forms part of the broader development of the mother–child division at the Centre Hospitalier Princesse Grace and continues a longstanding commitment to care that is both medically advanced and centered on family needs.

It also continues the engagement of Their Serene Highnesses in supporting parents, including first aid training workshops for infants initiated by Princess Charlene in collaboration with the Croix-Rouge Monégasque.

The inauguration marks a further step in strengthening comprehensive, family-focused neonatal care within the Principality.
