Stiftung Chance
für das kritisch kranke Kind
at Kinderspital Zürich
Who does Stiftung Chance support?
Stiftung Chance complements the Children's Hospital Zurich with various additional services. We focus on the intensive care units and neonatology. There we support critically ill children, their families and the medical and nursing teams.
Why is this necessary?
The University Children's Hospital Zurich, itself a foundation, is one of the leading institutions for paediatric and adolescent medicine in Switzerland. Stiftung Chance enables additional services at the Children's Hospital Zurich that are not covered by the public purse. Stiftung Chance was founded in 1999 by parents of critically ill children and is financed solely by donations.
We support critically ill children
With your help, Stiftung Chance supports the Children's Hospital Zurich. On behalf of the critically ill children and their families, we thank you for your generosity.
We are currently seeking donations for: Family-centred care
The complexity of the illnesses at the Children's Hospital Zurich is increasing. This results in a longer length of stay at the ICU, but also an increased need for professional care and guidance of the involved families.
Family-centred care focuses on involving families in the care of their critically ill children. It has a positive impact on recovery, supports successful discharge management, reduces the length of stay in the ICU and thus the risks of long-term consequences. As a specialised care counselling service, it helps to reorganise and stabilise the family. It strengthens parental skills and promotes parent-child bonding.
