From samba drums to care pathways: another year in which health assistance, education, and science transformed lives
When the samba drums began to echo down the avenue and the Acadêmicos da Realeza samba school took the stage honoring Pequeno Príncipe during Curitiba’s Carnival, it was clear that 2025 would be a special year. Seeing the Hospital’s history transformed into a parade theme — with a float adorned by handprints of patients, families, volunteers, and staff — moved everyone and heralded a cycle of achievements, structural advances, and renewed mobilization around the cause of childhood.
And so it was. What began as a celebration unfolded over the months into dedicated work, major accomplishments, deep care, and stories of lives transformed — like Rafaelly, who faced a highly delicate orthopedic surgery; siblings Bryan and Brennda, welcomed with warmth at every stage of their treatment; and little Sofia, whose courage inspired everyone around her.
Each story, in its own way, reflected the spirit of an extraordinary year. Check how 2025 was at Pequeno Príncipe in the article of the December edition of Pequeno Príncipe News.
