The high level of specialization in pediatrics requires interdisciplinary cooperation in the care of complex and chronically ill children and adolescents as well as those with acute serious illnesses according to the principle of evidence-based medicine. We offer outpatient and inpatient tertiary care for all age groups, from the smallest premature babies to young adults, take into account the involvement of relatives and place the "child" at the center of our actions.

In keeping with the motto "specialists for the child", we offer optimal care with the "Pediatric Center" by cooperating with the various specialist disciplines.

As the largest pediatric facility in Austria, we are actively involved in the training of our future physicians and are achieving notable successes in research at the top of Europe. In 2023, we were able to publish 398 articles, resulting in a scientific evaluation of 3,434 IF in total.
