History
A statue by David Norris outside the Portland Hospital
The Portland was conceived by Barry Lewis, a paediatrician, who perceived a need for London to have a private hospital for women and children: it opened in 1983.[1] It markets its services on an international basis and in 2015 about 25% of its earnings came from overseas patients.[2]
In 2015, the hospital secured planning approval for a new link bridge which would enable it to expand its specialist children's hospital within an adjacent building.[3]
