A new service has just opened at the Regional University Hospital of Amiens, that of paediatric emergencies, which welcomes injured or sick children 24/7. Dr Jean Claude Pautard, pediatrician Amiens Regional University Hospital, points out that the service welcomes all pathologies, and that emergency services must be taken on time.
At the Edouard Herriot Hospital’s pediatric hospital, doctors believe that the presence of parents with their hospitalized child is essential for the child’s good development.
The pediatric ER waiting room is crowded. A mother and her child who swallowed rat death is worried: "the nurses do not seem to be worried"; Professor Antoine Bourillon, head of the emergency department explains that anxious parents need to be reassured.
