Questions
Parents often ask
Do I need to pay before my child is seen
No. A sick child is seen first. Payment or HMO details come after, once your child is settled.
Can both parents come in
One parent stays at the bedside at all times; a second can join when it is calm.
Can you transfer a child here from another hospital
Yes. The referring doctor calls the emergency line and speaks to our doctor on duty.
