Ward A has a total of 42 beds and is divided into two specialised areas, each with a different focus.
On ward A3, with 14 beds, the focus is on psychosomatics. In this specialised unit, we create a unique environment for the care of children and adolescents with interlinked physical symptoms and psychosocial factors. A dedicated team of professionals and specialists provides individual, comprehensive and patient-centred care.
Ward A1/2, with a total of 28 beds, is dedicated to paediatrics. The focus here is on the health and well-being of children of different age groups. Our team of experienced paediatricians, nurses and therapists work hand in hand to ensure first-class medical care.
Parents can be with their child around the clock. Additional visits are possible to a limited extent from 1.30 p.m. to 7 p.m. with a maximum of three people at the same time. Due to data confidentiality in two-bed rooms, you may be asked to leave the room and wait in the parents' lounge during admissions, emergencies, doctor's rounds or handovers, for example.
Only the patient's parents or legal representative will receive information about the patient.
In addition to the patient room, there is also a quiet room on the 2nd floor.
