Kinderspital Zürich

About Kinderspital Zürich

As the largest center for pediatrics and pediatric surgery in Switzerland, Kinderspital Zürich, with its approximately 2,300 employees, provides demanding services in inpatient acute care, emergency, rehabilitation, and outpatient services. Kinderspital Zürich is unique because it is the only hospital in Switzerland exclusively focused on the needs of children and adolescents with a university mandate. The Kinderspital Zürich is a non-profit and private institution serving all children and adolescents regardless of gender, religion, or social background. We treat sick and injured children from birth to the end of their growth. We provide competent and comprehensive care for our patients, involving their families. Annually, approximately 8,300 inpatients and around 38,000 outpatients are treated at Kinderspital Zürich. An additional approximately 40,000 patients visit our emergency department each year. Kinderspital Zürich is planning a new building in Lengg with architects Herzog & de Meuron; the move from the current Hottingen location is planned for 2022. The new building will ensure the operational and spatial needs of the Kinderspital for the future.
