Wilhelmina Kinderziekenhuis (WKZ)

Childrens hospital

😠 We visited the hospital today as my son is sick and the local GP that we have contacted first rejected us by saying they are very busy. My son was with very high fever 39.5 for two days and I tried to decrease the fever by giving medicine myself as we were not able to see a doctor! Today is 5th day... People often mention hospital, doctors, child, good, care, nurses,

    We visited the hospital today as my son is sick and the local GP that we have contacted first rejected us by saying they are very busy. My son was with very high fever 39.5 for two days and I tried to decrease the fever by giving medicine myself as we were not able to see a doctor! Today is 5th day and he is with ear pain and it indicates that his sickness is growing into an eat infection maybe but I cannot just have someone to check upon him if he needs more than ibuprofen . I am not a doctor so I cannot judge if he is having a bacterial or viral infection and I do not have the license to treat a child or give him a medicine on my own. But looks like in Netherlands they expect parents to do that as we are rejected by local GP, then we are rejected by Kids hospital so I dont know what to do next?

    operation for one of the children. The service from the employees is perfect Are involved and take good care of the patients. Parking is available underneath the hospital. For multiple days, a weekly ticket of 30 euros is advantageous. Be sure to use it when driving in, otherwise you have to call the doorman before leaving.

    (Translated by Google) I had an operation, and it went well and with good results. Care after recovery has really deteriorated. Sure, it depends on who you have as a caregiver. But my experience with care was 4/10. (Original) Ik had een operatie, en deze is goed afgelopen en goed resultaat. De zorg na het herstel is wel echt verslechterd. Tuurlijk, het ligt eraan wie je hebt als verzorger. Maar mijn ervaring met de zorg was 4/10.

    Been a regular customer in the hospital for several weeks now. Due to medical indications, the hematologist in question only allows me to have my pregnancy and delivery take place in the WKZ under supervision. This is due to a hemophilia disease. Things were a bit rough at first. Due to extreme nausea, no clear plan was made, which meant that important things, including my hemophilia disease, faded into the background. After a conversation with the head doctor because she had read my file and saw that things were not going well. Has she drawn up a clear plan that all doctors and nurses must adhere to? Things are now going well due to the good actions of the head doctor. And she keeps a finger on the pulse so that the guidance continues to run smoothly. Due to my hemophilia disease, I cannot give birth in another hospital, otherwise I would have gone back to the hospital where I first gave birth 10 years ago (however, my hemophilia disease was not yet officially known at the time). In any case, keep communicating well, there will be they have been listened to seriously and there is a willingness to ensure that mother and child receive the best care. But busyness can cause noise and the file for patients requiring additional medical care can sometimes be a bit confusing. Soon they will renovate the hospital, probably rooms such as diak (maternity suites), until then a hospital which is one of the oldest, so many people complain about being old and worn out. I would rather have an old hospital where the care is excellent than a hyper modern hospital that does not offer the highest quality commitment to patients. I have been a regular hospital customer for 10 years now, partly due to my hemophilia disease, and I have seen a lot of hospitals, but for me UMC and UMCG WkZ are the best in the Netherlands. Finally, the cleaning service could be a bit better, but it depends on which cleaner comes. One certainly does better than the other. But that is no different at home or in the building where you work.

    We spent the last two days in the Parrot department. What a great hospital this is! Our son was completely at ease, because of all the lovely nurses, the kind doctors and all the personal attention. There was never any doubt about your skills and professionalism. He was sad to leave! ;) thank you very much!

    Had to be here every other week for 7 months because of my twin pregnancy. Well supervised from start to finish by nice and sweet people. The birth also went better than expected. We spent 3 days in the maternity ward with our 2 boys. Not a single complaint, just praise for all the staff! We are very satisfied with the WKZ.

    Best nurses and doctors for children. Friendly staff. Clini clowns, music therapy and more to help make your stay more bearable when you have a sick child.

    We have been coming to the WKZ for some time and have only praise and compliments for the professional approach and exceptionally competent staff. People are friendly with an eye for our son. In short, definitely 5 stars!

    My son Dylan was taken to the ICU in November. We didn't know any way he would get out of the hospital. My son was helped by good doctors and nurses. You guys are doing fantastic work. And we are eternally grateful that my son can still enjoy the life he still has ahead of him.

    Best Hospital for premature children and mothers, one of the few that care for mother and child equally with full understanding of complexity. Thank you for our child got delivered with 32 weeks in full health. The personal bond with the nurses and doctors was absolute.
