Some treatments can be carried out without admitting the patient. They are then conducted on an outpatient basis, either in the Day Hospital or by a Hospital at Home arrangement. However, some treatments require conventional admission, which sometimes involves finding accommodation for the parents.
A Paediatric ward clerk can answer your queries. You will be informed of solutions which are suited to the patient’s situation.
The Paediatric Department is located on the 9th floor of the main Gustave Roussy building and is divided into various units:
The Day Hospital: "The Village"
This is open from 8 am to 7 pm, Monday to Friday. It has a capacity of 8 places and 3 cubicles and offers ambulatory treatment rather than hospital admission.
0-12 years Unit: "The Plain"
This 12-bedded unit is designed for the reception and care by specifically qualified staff of the smallest children (0 to 12 years) in an environment appropriate to the degree of independence of the child.
Unless you are given alternative instructions, please go to central reception as soon as you arrive in order to obtain a form which allows you to move around the hospital. The reception staff will direct you to the admissions office.
