The University Department of Neuropaediatrics, Developmental Paediatrics and Neurorehabilitation Northwestern Switzerland is an interdisciplinary department of the University Children's Hospital Basel (UKBB) in close cooperation with the University Hospital of Basel. Aarau Children's Hospital.
In our department, we deal with the health and conditions affecting the entire nervous system – from the brain, as the control centre, through the spinal cord, to the nerves and muscles. We care for newborns, infants, pre-school and school-age children, as well as young people up to the age of 18.
Our patients are assessed and treated on an outpatient basis during specialised consultations, as well as on an inpatient basis, by a large, dedicated team comprising doctors, neuropsychologists, nursing specialists and specialists in neurophysiological diagnostics. We offer general neuropaediatric and developmental paediatric consultations, as well as highly specialised services, state-of-the-art diagnostic techniques and therapeutic procedures.
Care is provided through close interdisciplinary collaboration with colleagues from related departments – often during joint consultation hours. Our modern facilities meet the highest standards of university medicine. We are committed to excellence, whilst always prioritising family-oriented, child-centred care.
Our platform is dedicated to research in the field of paediatric epilepsy, sleep disorders and neuromuscular diseases in children and adolescents. Under the leadership of Prof Datta, we focus on innovative research approaches and interdisciplinary collaboration in order to develop new findings and therapies.
