Paediatric surgeons specialise in the treatment of children because children are not small adults.

Our clinic is optimally prepared for small patients: We work with paediatric anaesthetists, paediatricians and paediatric nurses. Our operating theatres and our ward are completely geared towards children.

We have a school, teachers, nutritionists, child-friendly food, a playroom, clinic clowns - and above all:

You can stay overnight with your child at any time, for the entire inpatient stay. This is called "rooming in", and scientific studies have shown that this helps children to recover more quickly.
