Children's ward

The children's ward consists of three parts.

Intermediate Intensive Care Unit

The Intermediate Intensive Care Unit provides comprehensive care in monitored beds in separate rooms. Children who require intensive care and supervision, e.g. after surgery or trauma, are admitted here.

Standard children's ward

The standard children's ward has rooms with separate sanitary facilities.

Children's long-term and intensive care unit (DIOP)

A unique and specific part of the Children's Ward in the Czech Republic is the separate Department of Long-term and Intensive Nursing Care for Children (DIOP), which was opened in September 2018. This ward has fully equipped beds in separate rooms with the possibility of permanent stay of an accompanying person. Children with serious life-limiting illnesses are admitted to the ward. This type of care is part of the comprehensive care for chronically ill children with life-limiting illnesses provided by the Hořovice Hospital and the necessary continuity with outpatient and home care. The care includes not only care for physical health symptoms, but also psychological, social and spiritual care.

Outpatient clinics of general practitioners for children and adolescents are accepting new patients. For more information please contact the surgeries.

Department regime

Morning visits take place daily after eight o'clock, afternoon and evening visits we try to adapt individually to the child's schedule.

General instructions and information

Visitors are asked to respect the health condition of hospitalized children and to adjust their behaviour and the length of their visit accordingly. The recommended times and visiting regime are governed by the Ward House Rules. We allow the permanent presence of a close person (hospitalization of the child's companion) according to the Charter of the Rights of Hospitalized Children.

Visits to the children's ward are possible at any time of the day. We ask, however, that no more than two adults visit a child; visits by siblings or persons under 18 years of age are always dealt with individually after consultation and with the consent of the parents.
