Today there are 19 paediatric departments in Denmark. Most of the children's departments are placed in obsolete buildings. Centralisation in children's hospital provides a child-oriented environment with staff, who are knowledgeable about the needs of children, have the competence in both basic and highly specialised medical care, there will be greater opportunities to conduct research in children's diseases and be at the cutting-edge of both national and international excellence in the paediatric area of specialisation, accomplishing this ambition through research and medical improvements.
