ABOUT US

A Legacy Rooted in Love and Community

Founded in 1950 through the generosity of the people of Trinidad & Tobago and named with permission of Princess Elizabeth, PEC began as a children’s orthopaedic hospital dedicated to rehabilitation after polio. Today, it has evolved into a nationally recognized centre providing medical care, therapy, education and support for children with physical disabilities.

Modern Surgical Facilities for Advanced Paediatric Care

The surgical centre is equipped with modern operating theatres designed to support a wide range of paediatric orthopaedic procedures. These theatres are configured to accommodate complex spinal, limb, joint and soft-tissue surgeries, with layouts that promote efficiency, sterility and precise surgical workflow.

Upgraded equipment and specialised orthopaedic technology allow surgical teams to perform procedures with greater accuracy, improved control and enhanced patient safety. The design of the space supports best practices in infection prevention, anaesthesia management and intraoperative monitoring.
