Specialised consultation hours for children and adolescents are available at UKBB. Our experts offer comprehensive diagnostics and treatment for a wide range of concerns. Registrations are made exclusively via medical referral.
Young refugees often have specific medical needs. In addition, underage asylum seekers should undergo a holistic standard medical examination after their arrival in the country of asylum and receive long-term integration into the preventive medical services such as vaccinations and developmental examinations in Switzerland. In order to meet these needs, a migration medicine consultation has been offered at UKBB since the beginning of 2016.
The topics include the clarification of vaccination status, tropical infections and paediatric issues in asylum-seeking children, adolescents and unaccompanied minors (UMA). These issues concern various medical specialities and are closely linked to asylum and migration.
In addition, social counselling is offered for questions relating to illnesses, insurance benefits are clarified and there is networking with the relevant migration offices. The aim is to optimise care as well as medical and nursing care and to ensure appropriate medical treatment.
Interpreters must be organised if required. Please let us know the desired language.
