The Universitäts-Kinderspital Zürich (Kispi) is the largest center for pediatrics and pediatric surgery in Switzerland and is one of the world's leading children's hospitals.[1][2][3] With around 2,600 to 3,500 employees, approximately 200–230 beds and over 100,000 patient treatments annually, it sets standards in pediatric care.[3][6][9]
The Kispi offers a comprehensive range of medical services for children and adolescents from neonatology to adolescent medicine. The core areas include:
Through interdisciplinary and interprofessional teams, state-of-the-art technologies and methods are used to ensure holistic care - including support for families.[1][2]
The highest priority is the well-being of children and adolescents: "Together - until the children are well".[1][2] The Kispi treats, cares for and promotes the development of young patients in close cooperation with their families. Values such as interdisciplinary cooperation, innovative use of technology and patient-centered care shape everyday life.[1]
As a university center, research is an integral part. The Forschungszentrum für das Kind (FZK) with around 300 researchers covers areas such as immunology, oncology, infectiology, pediatric palliative care and innovative therapies.[1][7] International cutting-edge research is rapidly transferred to the clinic to ensure the best possible care and to make new findings accessible to children worldwide.[1]
The search results do not mention explicit sustainability initiatives such as environmental protection or specific goals for CO₂ reduction. The focus is on medical excellence and long-term patient care through research.[1][7] However, current developments emphasize resource-saving, innovative methods in patient care and teaching.[1]
The Kispi embodies a pioneering spirit in pediatrics: from emergency aid to cancer research - always with the goal of enabling children to live healthy lives. It is a beacon for pediatric medicine in Europe.[1][3]
