from trauma, traffic accidents, etc. The medical staff includes regular physicians,
surgeons, orthopedists, and specialists in internal medicine, who specialize in
pediatrics as well as nurses, a social worker, and a physical therapist.
We At Sanz Medical Center Laniado Hospital understand that caring for sick
children requires not only the best professional competence, an immense
amount of patience, compassion and understanding, but also the comfortable
accommodations to ease their stay in a medical facility and give them the feeling
of home. At the same time, their parents must have a comfortable space in which
to spend time with their children, and in which to wait while their children are
receiving medical treatment. They provide expert medical care in a warm, homelike
atmosphere that helps ease the trauma for the sick child and his or her family.
