Our department has a team of experienced physicians, nurses, and other healthcare professionals dedicated to children with various health problems – from common infections, through cardiovascular, pulmonary, neurological, or gastroenterological diseases, to rarer diagnoses requiring long-term monitoring and treatment.
In our department, we provide pre-operative and post-operative care for pediatric urological and ENT patients. We prepare young children for non-invasive diagnostic procedures under general anesthesia, such as CT and MRI scans, scintigraphy, and other diagnostic methods.
Our goal is to ensure early diagnosis and effective treatment of childhood diseases. We work in close cooperation with parents, pediatricians, and specialists to provide each child with the best possible care, considering their age, development, and individual needs. If necessary, we collaborate with physicians from other departments and clinics of FN Nitra, as well as with specialized pediatric centers throughout Slovakia. The department also provides specialized outpatient care.
An important part of our work is a humane approach and creating a friendly environment where children and their parents feel safe. We focus not only on treatment but also on prevention and education, thereby helping to build the foundations of a healthy lifestyle from the earliest age.
Our endeavor is to ensure the continuous presence of a parent with their child. In the small children’s ward, this is provided for with beds – parents have a separate bed available. In the older children’s ward, we do not yet have this option, but we always strive to find a way for the parent to be with the child throughout the hospitalization.
The Department of Pediatrics and Adolescents is also a teaching base for students of the Secondary Medical School in Nitra and the Faculty of Social Sciences and Health (SVaZ) at UKF in Nitra, Department of Nursing and Emergency Medicine. Medical students studying at medical faculties also complete their practical training here annually.
