​Her Royal Highness Crown Princess Mary has laid the cornerstone for Rigshospitalet's new hospital for children, teens, expecting mothers and their families. Mary Elizabeth’s Hospital - Rigshospitalet for Children, Teens and Expecting Families will be a pioneering hospital in which life abounds on the patients’ terms.​

​Rigshospitalet's new hospital for children, young people, expecting mothers and their families will be named after Her Royal Highness Crown Princess Mary. The hospital is to open in four years, and it will be called ‘Mary Elizabeth’s Hospital - Rigshospitalet for Children, Teens and Expecting Families´.

​Thanks to a grant from the Novo Nordisk Foundation worth DKK 3,567,000, BørneRiget is now able to develop a virtual gaming universe for long-term hospitalised children and young people, where, among other things, they can grow virtual monster plants and play with them. The donation also secures research into the effects of virtual gaming.

​Nine specialties at Rigshospitalet have been working together to improve patient pathways for children and young people with congenital cranial and facial deformities. This has resulted in fewer visits for patients, and happier families.

​Shared principles will replace the many different approaches so that, going forward, Rigshospitalet will not be perceived as “10 different realms”
