The Polish Mother's Memorial Hospital Institute is the largest center in Poland providing multi-specialty care for mothers and children.
The clinic where the course will take place has been a leading center specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of newborns with congenital defects for many years. We help children who are unable to breathe on their own and require support, as well as babies born significantly before their due date.
At the incubator of a sick newborn, we meet with various specialists, including cardiology and cardiac surgery, surgery, urology, neurology and neurosurgery, ophthalmology, otolaryngology, and rehabilitation, providing comprehensive treatment for newborns.
At our clinic, we provide comprehensive care for defects of the heart, abdominal wall, respiratory system, and central nervous system. We provide all types and modes of mechanical ventilation, including nitric oxide therapy.
For children with the most severe forms of respiratory failure that do not respond to conventional treatment, we offer extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). We are the first and only neonatal intensive care unit in Poland offering extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.
We use modern medical equipment and state-of-the-art monitoring systems to treat our patients. However, the greatest strength of our team is the fantastic team of people who, with passion and extensive, always up-to-date knowledge, care for the youngest patients and their families.
The Institute is located on the outskirts of Lodz, yet is very conveniently accessible by public transportation, approximately 30 minutes from the city center. The Institute is surrounded by green spaces, and the hospital itself boasts
a beautiful park.
About city
Lodz is one of the oldest and largest cities in Poland, with a population of approximately 750,000. It is known as the "City of Four Cultures" (Polish, Jewish, German, and Russian) due to its 19th-century industrial heritage, when these four national groups combined to create the city's power, as reflected in its architecture, cuisine, and art. This heritage is still evident in many places today. Walking down the main street, Piotrkowska (the longest street in Poland), you can encounter a Jewish synagogue, the villas of a German entrepreneur, and a former Russian restaurant. Besides its rich
heritage, Lodz is now a modern and sustainable city, with a well-developed road and transportation infrastructure and a vibrant cultural and nightlife scene.
The aforementioned Piotrkowska Street offers countless cafes, pubs, restaurants, and bars. The Manufaktura shopping center, built in the former 19th-century factories of one of Lodz's largest entrepreneurs, Izrael Poznański, is a shopping complex housing not only the largest number of shops but also a modern art museum and numerous contemporary art galleries.
The newly built Orientarium will provide attractions for even the youngest travelers. The biggest attraction is a large swimming pool where you can watch elephants bathing.
Lodz is the capital of Polish cinematography, home to one of the best Film Schools in Europe. It is open to the public, as is the Museum of Cinematography.
