Welcome to Ward B at the University Children's Hospital Basel (UKBB), a place dedicated to the care of children and adolescents in the fields of surgery and orthopaedics. The ward is equipped with a total of 34 beds and offers a first-class environment for the medical care and surgical treatment of young patients.
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. In two-bed rooms, you may be asked to leave the room and wait in the parents' lounge during admissions, emergencies, medical rounds or handovers, for example.
Only the parents or legal representatives receive information about patients.
In addition to the patient room, there is also a parents' lounge (with fridge and microwave) and playroom on ward B. There is also a quiet room on the 2nd floor.
