Servizi per il paziente

Dedicated services

Support for families

Multidisciplinary support is offered to families using the collaboration of a psychologist from the hospital's social service department. In addition, in close collaboration with pediatric nursing services on the territory, an attempt is made to offer a network of care by integrating some of the caretaking at home whenever possible.

Insights

Collaborations

In the field of pediatric oncology, the service is integrated into the network of Swiss clinics licensed for pediatric cancer treatment, in close collaboration with all Swiss university centers, and in particular with the Kinderspital in Zurich. Most conventional chemotherapies are performed, and there is active participation in international therapy protocols.

For surgical aspects and special therapies, such as stem cell transplantation, the point of reference is Kinderspital Zurich.
