Portland Hospital
The Portland Hospital for Women and Children is a private maternity hospital on Great Portland Street, City of Westminster, London, England, owned by the Hospital Corporation of America. History 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. It markets its services on an international basis and in 2015 about 25% of its earnings came from overseas patients. 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. It was described as a ‘5-star hotel for some very sick patients’ at an employment tribunal in 2022.
