Hospital Santa Rosa de Viterbo wins three Pink Seals for gender medicine
Hospital Santa Rosa, located in Viterbo, in the Lácio region, received this Thursday (27) the three Bollini Rosa from Fundação Onda, the maximum recognition granted to Italian health units that stand out in gender medicine. The award is valid for the 2026-2027 biennium and places the institution among the 144 best in the country in this segment. The ceremony took place at Ministério of Saúde, at Roma.
The distinction evaluates more than 500 criteria, including clinical specialties focused on female pathologies, multidisciplinary diagnostic pathways and reception services for victims of violence. Santa Rosa maintained the maximum score for the third consecutive time.
Strict award criteria
Fundação Onda has carried out the biennial assessment since 2007. Hospitals respond to an extensive questionnaire that verifies the provision of specific services for women.
The three Selos Rosa represent the highest level of excellence. Apenas institutions with a complete structure for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of diseases prevalent in women achieve this classification.
Award-winning structure in Viterbo
The hospital has departments dedicated to breast oncology, gynecology, female cardiology and women’s mental health. Services include specialist consultations, screening tests and post-treatment follow-up.
The unit also maintains specific protocols for high-risk pregnant women and women undergoing menopause.
National network of excellence
Of the 370 hospitals evaluated across Itália, only 144 achieved all three Selos Rosa. The Bollini Rosa network ranges from large university centers to regional structures such as Santa Rosa.
- Breast oncology with free annual screening
- Gender cardiology with a focus on female silent heart attack
- Reference center for endometriosis and fibroids
- 24-hour support for victims of domestic violence
- Cardiovascular prevention programs adapted to the female hormonal profile
ASL’s Continued Commitment Viterbo
The management of Autoridade Sanitária Local of Viterbo highlighted the integrated work between hospital and territorial services. Profissionais from different areas participated in the construction of the award-winning protocols.
The achievement reinforces the position of Santa Rosa as a regional reference in women’s health. Maintaining the three seals demonstrates consistency in the quality of care offered to the population of Tuscia and surrounding areas.
Importance of gender medicine
Studies show that women present different symptoms than men in various diseases. Myocardial infarction, for example, is more frequently manifested by abdominal pain and nausea in women.
The gender approach allows for earlier diagnosis and appropriate treatment. Hospitais and Bollini Rosa follow specific guidelines that consider these biological and social particularities.
Hospital Santa Rosa continues to invest in continuous training of professionals and technological updating to maintain the nationally recognized standard of excellence.
