Universitäts-Kinderspital beider Basel (UKBB)

What this service does for you

UKBB is the children's hospital for both Basel cantons. It has an interdisciplinary emergency department that cares for children and young people around the clock – from minor ailments to life-threatening injuries or illnesses. The page mentions typical childhood emergencies such as fever, diarrhoea, head injuries and croup; there is no information about stroke in children. Strokes in children are rare, but they do happen – if a child suddenly has weakness on one side of the body or loses the ability to speak, you should also call 144. For relatives, the Medgate Kids Line is another option for initial advice over the phone.
