We offer inpatient and outpatient care for all age groups ranging from the smallest premature babies to young adults.

General information about the clinic

Our central concern is the treatment of chronically and acutely sick children and adolescents according to the principle of “evidence-based medicine”. Due to increasing levels of specialisation in paediatrics and adolescent medicine, multidisciplinary teams of experts are required. We offer inpatient and outpatient care for all age groups ranging from the smallest premature babies to young adults, we take into account the involvement of relatives and place the “child” at the centre of our activities.

In line with the motto “Bringing Specialists to the Child”, we view the development of the “Paediatric Centre” as an essential step towards optimum care via cooperation between the various specialist disciplines.

The University Hospital of Paediatric and Adolescent Medicine consists of:

four clinical departments (four departments at the UKKJ – MedUni Wien)
the Teaching core unit
the research areas (note: St. Anna Children’s Cancer Research is an independent area)
the general areas

As a large paediatric institution in Austria, we are positioned at the European forefront not only in patient care but also in research. Our main areas of research consist of neuroscience, rare diseases, infectiology/immunology/allergology, organ-specific diseases, coagulation abnormalities, as well as autoimmunological and endocrine diseases.

Clinical studies

Research is one of our core tasks at the University Hospital of Paediatric and Adolescent Medicine, and is structured in the form of focus research areas of the respective departments and research core units.
