H.K.H. Kronprinsessan Victorias Children's and Youth Hospital is a "hospital within a hospital," meaning we have inpatient wards and outpatient clinics where children receive their care primarily in one location. We welcome children and youth ages 0–18 years with various illnesses and injuries, and we aim to provide coordinated care with a focus on the family.
One of our coordinators is on parental leave, and we are now seeking a temporary replacement.
