Academic Children's Hospital

Little hearts need great care! We are a small hospital in the vastness, and it is precisely in the small that our greatness lies. Here, all the expertise a sick child may need is available, along with good collaboration, respect, and care. We offer a really good introduction for newcomers and many interesting opportunities for development. There is also surprisingly much joy in what is sometimes very difficult. We take care of the children and their families, and we take care of each other – because we know we do a much better job together!
