The Swiss Pediatric Liver Center is the national reference center for pediatric liver transplantation and hepatobiliary surgery. 
Our mission is to care for and support all children with liver disease.

The goal of this website is to answer essential questions : What is this disease ? What will happen during the medical exams ? What should we do while waiting for a transplant ? What will happen during the liver transplant ? What will happen once we get back home ?
