Clinic for Neonatology

"Optimal medical care at the start of your child's life is the central element of our work. We are there for you around the clock with our expertise." Prof. Dr Vera Bernet, Head of the Neonatology Clinic

In neonatology, we care for premature babies from the 32nd week of pregnancy as well as newborns who require special medical attention. In addition to our wide range of services, we offer parents counselling for problem pregnancies and carry out ultrasound examinations of all organs as well as non-invasive ventilation of newborn babies. We work closely with the obstetrics team and are located directly next to the delivery room. This increases safety in the care of newborns and premature babies.

Level IIB neonatology

The Swiss Society of Neonatology (SGN) certified our neonatology department as a level IIB clinic in 2015. This means that we fulfil specific standards in terms of skills, staff and infrastructure. These include, in particular, the non-invasive ventilation of newborns and a neonatology on-call service available around the clock.
