The Anesthesia Department and Surgical Suite

The team of highly experienced pediatric anesthetists in the Department – all of whom have specialized in the field - provides sedation services to all departments and units in the hospital. Their challenge is to attain the optimum balance for the child during surgery: administering anesthesia while ensuring that the child’s vital body functions are protected.
