The Children's Hospital Augsburg | Mother and Child Center Swabia is originally an independent hospital for paediatrics in the Augsburg district of Kriegshaber , which has been attached to the Augsburg University Hospital since 2000 .
history
A first independent children's clinic in Augsburg was set up in 1922 as a “municipal children's sanatorium with infant home ” in the vacant building of the district hospital in the Oberhausen district that had been dissolved a year earlier . Since a new building was inevitable after a few decades, the city council passed a resolution in 1958 according to which an independent children's clinic should be built as the first construction phase of the new central clinic. The foundation stone was laid on November 30, 1959, and the new building in the Kriegshaber district went into operation on December 22, 1965.
On January 1, 1971, the children's clinic was taken over by the Augsburg Hospital Association . On January 1, 2000, the previously independent hospital was connected to the neighboring Augsburg Clinic. On April 12, 2011 the groundbreaking ceremony for the construction of the new children's clinic in Augsburg with the “Mother and Child Center Swabia” took place. Although the renovation of the old building was considered, it turned out to be difficult to implement. The main aim of the new building was to shorten the distances between the obstetric and neonatal departments.
Key figures
The children's clinic has 140 patient beds on five wards, each assigned to one of the three clinics:
- I. Clinic for children and adolescents (children's endocrinology, children's diabetology, children's oncology, children's hematology, children's neurology, children's gastroenterology, children's rheumatology, children's pain therapy and children's immunology)
- II. Clinic for children and adolescents (pediatric cardiology, pediatric pulmonology, pediatric allergology, pediatric nephrology and developmental neurology)
- Pediatric surgery clinic (pediatric surgery and pediatric urology)
There are also 14 day clinic beds (10 interdisciplinary and 4 pediatric oncology). Although the number of patients in the children's clinic is constantly increasing, there are significantly fewer beds available than in the old children's clinic.
There is also a department for children's radiology and special centers such as the “Bavarian Children's Pain Center”, the “Children's Cancer Center Augsburg-Swabia” and the “Children's Cancer Research Center”. The "Mother and Child Center Swabia" already mentioned in the name was finally established with the opening of the new clinic building.
