Children's Clinic Mälarsjukhuset, Eskilstuna

About Us

The Children's and Youth Clinic Sörmland is a regional clinic operating at the three hospitals in the region. The children's clinic at Mälarsjukhuset consists of a neonatal department, an emergency section with a children's and youth ward and children's emergency, outpatient clinic, and day care. With us, you get the advantages of smaller hospitals with a personal and close feel while providing high-quality care and treatment. Mälarsjukhuset is located in a beautiful area near central Eskilstuna with good transport links.

The neonatal department cares for premature infants and children in need of care at the beginning of life. The department has 12 beds, of which four are intensive care beds. We accept children from week 28 and have a close collaboration with Uppsala Academic Hospital, where we can receive the smallest extremely premature infants. From the department, there is also a team that works with home care as the final part of our care chain.

In the department, we work with the vision “Sörmland's children, safe in our hands” and strive to have high competence among employees and always focus on the family's right to be involved in the care of their child. Our commitment to the family is strong, and we strive for minimal separation between children and parents throughout the care chain. The family is at the center and should receive the individual care and specific attention they are entitled to.

In the spring of 2026, we will move into the newly built Mälarsjukhuset and will have new facilities that are better adapted to the family-centered care we currently provide. With better conditions for minimal separation of children and parents throughout the care process, as the women's clinic with delivery and maternity will be our closest neighbor. Parent rooms will be located right next to the intensive care unit beds. The work environment and the department's spaces will be better suited to our needs.
