2. Diagnostic Evaluation
Age-appropriate imaging and blood tests confirm the diagnosis.
3. Weight-Based Treatment
Medication and fluid treatment are dosed specifically to the child's weight.
4. Family-Centred Recovery
Parents and caregivers are kept closely involved through treatment and discharge planning.
“Our emergency team supports you through every stage, from arrival to stabilization and follow-up.”
