As part of the 50th anniversary of the Kannerklinik, the Centre Hospitalier de Luxembourg is inviting you to an Open House Day. The programme for this day, which will take place on Sunday 14 May 2017 from 10:00 to 17:00, includes activities for the whole family.
This will be a fun and original way to discover the Mother-Child Centre, plus a great opportunity to show the progress that has been made over the last 50 years.
An “à la carte” programme will be offered to visitors, including:
- A growing family: getting ready for a new baby/babies
- Thematic workshop “I’m going to be a Big Sister, I’m going to be a Big Brother”
- The “Petzi Klinik” to take the drama out of health management in the paediatric emergency ward through workshops for both the young and old
- Interactive workshops on prevention: extreme prematurity, how to avoid accidents at home, cardiovascular prevention in children, problems at school, prevention of allergies, etc.
This Open House Day will be an opportunity to discover the Mother-Child Centre in a “different way”, to better appreciate its diversity and its complexity, as well as to meet and interact with hospital professionals outside the usual healthcare framework. It will also be the perfect time to reduce anxieties related to stays in hospital.
A photo exhibit shows how the hospital has changed over the years. The Open House Day will also be the occasion to be the first to discover the exhibit of the work of artist Pascale Seil through a drawing competition at the KannerKlinik for the benefit of the “Grand Duke and Grand Duchess Foundation”.
Fun activities are planned for the children all throughout the day. A culinary training session is organised for the benefit of the “La Chaîne de l’Espoir” and “Pimpampel Asbl” Associations.

The KannerKlinik in a few figures:
In 2016, nearly 14,000 young patients were monitored, in outpatient and inpatient, in various wards at the KannerKlinik and more than 35,000 children and adolescents were received at the paediatric medical-surgical emergency polyclinic. The KannerKlinik has 74 hospital beds spread out over four units, and when hospitalised in the Paediatric Unit, one parent can stay with each child 24 hours a day.
We’re counting on you to announce this event through your press office. Many thanks in advance!
