IDIP – Instituto de Desarrollo e Investigaciones Pediátricas “Prof. Fernando Viteri” – was created in 2001 by Resolution 862/01 of the Ministry of Health of the Province of Buenos Aires, with the sponsorship and support of the Scientific Research Commission of the Province of Buenos Aires (CICPBA), Argentina. In 2008, by Resolution 280/08 IDIP was named after Prof. Dr. Fernando E. Viteri, in recognition of his fundamental role in the creation and development of the Institute. IDIP is part of La Plata Children´s Hospital “Sor María Ludovica”. The Hospital is a recognized leader in delivering high-quality healthcare services; healthcare team members update their specific knowledge at national and international congresses, and the institution keeps strong relations with universities and hospitals in the USA, Japan, France, Belgium, Spain, Germany, and Italy through agreements that reinforce mutual collaboration. Professionals are eager to present results from their research and to perform academic activities. The expectations for a healthcare institution have been fully surpassed, since more than 200 abstracts and oral presentations are submitted each year to national and international congresses. Although there are no precedents for the creation of research institutes within public hospitals in the Province of Buenos Aires, interestingly, such idea was anticipated more than 50 years ago.
