Summary

This article analyses the recent past of children´s hospitalisation, the most prevailing pathologies and epidemics, etc., the current situation and the influence of social and sanitary changes in children´s hospitalisation. The author concludes by asserting that the three pillars on which the future of children´s hospitalisation will be based are that children are only to be hospitalised when absolutely necessary, for the smallest possible period of time and always accompanied by relatives.
