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.

Premature birth: causes, care and the way home
When a baby is born prematurely, it is often a challenging time for both parents and child. At our hospital, which has a specialised neonatology clinic, we support families from the very first moment - from a medical, nursing and emotional perspective. In this blog post, you will receive a well-founded overview of the topic of premature birth - understandable, practical and based on the experience of our interdisciplinary team.

Bonding: Why the first skin contact with your baby is so important
It is a unique moment that parents never forget: the first time they feel their newborn baby - tiny, warm, full of life. This first contact is more than just a moving moment. It is the beginning of a deep emotional bond between the child and its parents. In our obstetrics and neonatology department at Zollikerberg Hospital, we do everything we can to ensure that these first moments are calm, intimate and undisturbed.
