Our Department

The Children’s Emergency Department is open 24 hours a day, 7 days per week.

We provide specialized paediatric care for babies, children and teens up to 18 years of age. All of our doctors and health care workers have extensive experience providing state-of-the-art care especially for young patients.

We care for approximately 36,000 children per year and serve as the Regional Paediatric Trauma Centre. We specialize in meeting the unique needs of children and families during medical emergencies.
