Comfort and tranquility for patients and their parents are the keys to successful treatment in Israel
Dana-Dwek Children's Hospital understands the anxiety of parents when a child is unwell. The medical staff does everything possible to ensure that not only our young patients feel safe, but also provide substantial support to their parents. A child psychologist works with the children as well as with their parents in the clinic.
The design of the hospital is developed in such a way that the child can distract from their illness; to make it pleasant and fun for the child to be in Dana-Dwek Children's Hospital during treatment in Israel. Each department for children has special playrooms where cheerful animators work with them. A fundamental principle in conducting any therapeutic procedures is to ensure maximum painlessness for the child.
To reduce anxiety in children, their treatment is turned into a play process. Thus, children not only distract from their illness, but therapeutic and diagnostic procedures are carried out more effectively.
Often, the practice of Dana-Dwek Children's Hospital also involves working with adolescents. Such patients require not only understanding but also deep respect, as fully formed individuals. The language barrier does not affect the quality of treatment in Israel, as both junior medical staff and leading doctors are fluent in English, and more than half of them also speak Russian. This fact helps the doctor build trusting relationships with the adolescent and achieve a quick recovery.
