Paediatrics is the branch of medicine that studies and treats childhood diseases, as well as the care of sick children and methods of preventing childhood illness at any age.
It is no exaggeration to say that Switzerland places great emphasis on paediatric research. Swiss clinics have the best equipment in the world for diagnosing troublesome conditions. At the clinic, your child will find a calm, reassuring atmosphere far removed from a typical “hospital environment”.
Swiss clinics have achieved excellent results in the following areas of paediatrics:
- Treatment of allergies and diathesis;
- Correction of congenital metabolic disorders;
- Therapy of genetic diseases;
- Paediatric gastroenterology, enterology and coloproctology;
- Cancer treatment;
- Paediatric haematology;
- Treatment of cardiovascular diseases;
- Correction of immune disorders;
- Neuropaediatrics;
- Paediatric gynaecology.
A paediatric consultation may be scheduled or unscheduled.
Great attention is paid in this country to child psychiatry and to resolving neuroses in infants. This is supported by the presence of child psychologists in the clinics and the use of swimming, hippotherapy and dolphin-assisted sessions. Many childhood diseases considered incurable are successfully treated or corrected here thanks to the most modern treatment methods and the expertise of Swiss doctors.
