In ricordo del Prof. Alberto Podestà

Il giorno 17-12-2026 è prematuramente deceduto il Prof. Alberto Podestà,

Direttore del Dipartimento Materno Infantile e Primario della Unità Operativa Complessa di Pediatria degli Ospedali San Paolo e San Carlo Borromeo di Milano.

Alberto è stato un tenace protagonista della pediatria ospedaliera Italiana, una figura impareggiabile nell'organizzazione della Società Italiana di Pediatria Ospedaliera. Infatti ha collaborato attivamente alla crescita ed al successo della SIPO e della SIPO NEL MONDO, società che hanno contribuito ad estendere i nostri programmi e le nostre collaborazioni in Italia e nel mondo. Ha contribuito molto a consolidare, con una indicibile e profonda "humanitas" professionale, i rapporti familiari nelle adozioni e gli affidi. Infatti ha organizzato, a livello nazionale, importanti "Master su adozione e affidi".

Noi tutti, che lo abbiamo conosciuto, siamo profondamente commossi per la sua morte e lo ricordiamo con indicibile affetto e riconoscenza.
