The department of the same name in University Children’s Hospital in Zurich serves as an example for the operation of the department, especially in the last decade. The annual visits of Swiss colleagues, joint rounds with them, discussions of complex medical cases and exchange of professional experience that have become a tradition and strengthened over years, contribute to keeping in pace with modern medicine. The specialists of the department have participated in different international conferences, such as annual OMI seminars in Austria, Excellence in Pediatrics and Europediatrics. The department actively participates in educational and training activities of clinical residents and nurses.
