The Pediatric Teaching Hospital in Pécs, Hungary is the regional children’s and teaching hospital for the southwestern region of Hungary. The city of Pécs has a population of over 160,000 people and the surrounding areas totals over 1 million residents. In 2006 the hospital had 7,113 in-patients and 51,671 out-patients. The hospitals areas of specialty include neurology, psychiatry, oncohematology, gastroenterology, endocrinology, urology, genetic disorders, and pediatric immunology. The hospital also has a pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) and a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).
The Pediatric Teaching Hospital has well trained doctors and nurses with training comparable to that found in the US. The hospital currently has a staff of 34 doctors and 125 nurses. The hospital is a non-profit hospital open to all children, including the poor and needy. As a pediatric teaching hospital it deals with the most severely ill children in southwest Hungary. The hospital is requesting a major equipment upgrade to its Pediatric Intensive Care unit/Critical Care Department. The doctors and medical professionals understand the latest in patient monitoring technology but lack the equipment. Consequently, the staff is unable to diagnose and properly treat many of the severely ill children who are brought to the hospital.
