Care at Imagine and Necker-Enfants malades

Imagine is a center for research and care focused on innovation, which has the huge advantage of being located on the campus of the Necker-Enfants malades hospital AP-HP. The care for and monitoring of children is therefore carried out within the Necker clinical departments.
