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. Our ward offers ten care places, which are occupied by isolettes, open care units or heated beds. 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.
