Kinderspitex der Stiftung Kifa Schweiz

The non-profit foundation Kifa Switzerland has been caring for infants, children, and adolescents in need of care throughout German-speaking Switzerland since 1991. 140 nursing professionals are employed for this purpose and provide around 40,000 hours of Spitex nursing care per year.

Relationship-based care is the be-all and end-all at Kifa. Relationship-based care means that a fixed team is put together for your child.

Family-centered care takes the whole family into account and offers targeted support through counseling and respite care.

More than just care
Families whose children are cared for and looked after by Kifa benefit from additional respite services. With the help of donations, it provides 7 services to relieve families with children and young people in need of care.
