Children's respiratory physiotherapy

In the museum's new long-term exhibition, «A journey to the interior of the city», the discovery of the Royal All Saints Hospital, inaugurated more than five hundred years ago in Rossio, forms the basis for a dialogue about health care practices past and present.

Respiratory problems are the main cause for hospitalisation of children under the age of two in Portugal. Clarifying and teaching parents simple practices can reduce the number of cases, their severity, hospital infections, the use of antibiotics and the impact these diseases have on families and their professional and school lives.
