Admission

At admission please register at "Aufnahme". The best thing is to ask at the main entrance for directions. We can offer one parent (father or mother) to stay with their child either in a mother-child unit or in our parents-hotel inside the hospital. After the registration and a preliminary examination of your child you will be accompanied to the ward, located on the 3rd floor ("Beobachtung / Kardiologie").

Dear Parents,

your child is scheduled for admission in our hospital and we ask you to read the following instructions:

Thank you for your understanding and your cooperation.
