VASCERN Basel is one of the cosec recognised reference centre.
A reference centre of the National Coordination of Rare Diseases (kosek) meets high standards in the care, education and research of rare diseases. It offers specialised consultation hours and information and coordinates a range of services for those affected across all ages. The aim is to provide the best possible support and care for children, adolescents and adults with rare diseases.
The University Centre for Rare Diseases Basel is a joint service of the UKBB and the University Hospital Basel USB. Since 2020, this service has been recognised by kosek, which is committed to improving the care situation for people affected by rare diseases.
As a university centre, we care for patients with rare vascular malformations and vascular tumours from birth to old age. This care is provided by an interdisciplinary team of specialists from paediatrics and adult medicine.
The close collaboration between UKBB and USB enables coordinated, cross-age care. One example is our joint interdisciplinary board, where we discuss patients and their therapies together.
VASCERN Basel is part of the national VASCERN network. Through this network, we promote exchange, training and research on rare vascular malformations and tumours throughout Switzerland.
On referral, we assess patients suspected of having a rare vascular disease and also provide further care if required.
The Interdisciplinary Board for Vascular Anomalies (IVAB) meets every two weeks. Both paediatric and adult patients are discussed here on an interdisciplinary basis and therapies are determined. The transition, i.e. the transfer of treatment from the UKBB to the USB, is also initiated in this board.
Due to the paediatric surgical cooperation with the Children's Hospital Zurich in the field of vascular anomalies, patients are also regularly discussed at the VABZ (Vascular Anomaly Board Zurich).
The Medgate Kids Line provides quick and uncomplicated medical advice if your child is unwell. The medical team of our partner Medgate is available to you by telephone around the clock.
