Goal 14 of the Austrian Child and Youth Health Strategy (Kinder- und Jugendgesundheitsstrategie) aims to make health facilities more child and youth-friendly.

Main measures

• Child-appropriate design of in-patient care by setting up child areas, guaranteeing child care by certified staff with paediatric competence and by guaranteeing regular paediatric conciliar visits in non-paediatric hospital wards
• Expansion and improvement of the infrastructure for accompanying persons
• Restructure of bed use in a hospital by pushing paediatric day-clinical structures in particular for chronic sick persons and planned medical interventions
• Strive for the participation of children in the hospital: children shall be involved in decisions regarding them according to their stage of development

There is no description of the financial support for this specific aim.
