Department of Neonatology, Pediatric Intensive Care and Neuropediatrics
Specialized in: neonatology, pediatric intensive care, neuropediatrics About the Department of Neonatology, Pediatric Intensive Care and Neuropediatrics at University Hospital Essen
The Department of Neonatology, Pediatric Intensive Care and Neuropediatrics at the University Hospital Essen offers the full range of services in these medical fields. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Ursula Felderhoff-Mueser, who, according to the Focus magazine, ranks among the top German doctors in the field of neonatology!
The department became one of the first medical facilities certified by the Medical Association of North Rhine-Westphalia as a Level I Perinatal Center. It provides first-class medical care for premature babies, newborns and children with congenital or neonatal diseases. The specialists in the field of pediatric intensive care guarantee quality care for seriously ill children, while the experienced neuropediatricians take care of the health of the nervous system in children of all age groups (from newborns to 18 years). Of particular interest in this focus is myasthenia therapy. The department is certified as a specialized center for the treatment of this pathology. A competent team of pediatric neurologists, psychologists, physiotherapists, nutritionists and neurophysiologists works with young patients to provide comprehensive treatment of neuropediatric diseases.
The department is equipped with state-of-the-art technologies for treating children and monitoring the vital functions of the child’s body in the intensive care unit. Also, special attention should be given to the design of the pediatric department. All rooms and wards are made in warm, pleasant colors, there are special game rooms, and if desired, one of the parents may stay in the patient room with the child.
