Hospital PUC-Campinas Celso Pierro joins the global hospital network on Patient Network Explorer, bringing its patients access to leading-edge medical interventions via international, sponsored clinical trials, and expanding Clinerion’s existing presence in São Paulo State.

Hospital PUC-Campinas Celso Pierro is a reference hospital in high-complexity care in Campinas, São Paulo, and surrounding regions, with 339 beds. The hospital runs clinical trials in cardiology, dermatology, endocrinology and haematology, among others.
