Physicians & Health Professionals

The University Children’s Hospital Zurich offers a large team of highly qualified, experienced specialists with an infrastructure that makes it possible to cover the entire range of diseases within the field of paediatrics and paediatric surgery. Our interdisciplinary collaboration with various specialist centres is regarded as one of our assets.

Comprehensive Medical Services and Treatment

The University Children’s Hospital Zurich is the largest hospital in Switzerland specializing in paediatrics and paediatric surgery. It offers fully comprehensive medical services and treatment. With 224 beds, numerous outpatient clinics, a day clinic as well as an interdisciplinary emergency unit it provides the full range of services for child health needs. In addition, the hospital also operates an interdisciplinary intensive care unit including Neonatology, conventional and high-frequency ventilation and ECMO (extra corporeal membrane oxygenation). At the state-of-the-art Department of Diagnostic Radiology, all treatments are administered, except Scintigraphy. The Division of Anaesthesiology provides highly professional services around the clock. These highly specialized and comprehensive medical disciplines provide an ideal basis for examining and treating complex and multiple illnesses.

Our strong point: Interdisciplinarity

We are proud of our interdisciplinary approach at the University Children’s Hospital Zurich, carefully built up by means of close cooperation between the intensive care and emergency units. We provide opportunities for regular meetings: for example, the uro-nephro-radiological conference (Mondays from 17.00 to 18.00); the pulmonology case review (Wednesdays from 08.30 to 09.00) and the gastroenterology discussion (Tuesdays from 08.30 to 09.00). These meetings often cover complex case studies and external physicians are very welcome to join these sessions devoted to particular medical cases.

Medical colleagues have the opportunity to draw on our wide variety of clinical services: specialized medical laboratories such as the Division of Diagnostic Imaging are available for the full spectrum of lab diagnostics including radiology and ultrasound.
