The Geneva University Hospital (HUG) have today inaugurated the Maison de l’enfance et de l’adolescence (MEA), a psychiatric care center for children and young adults up to the age of 18 and for medical care of adolescents and young adults up to the age of 25.
The MEA will welcome its first patient in early July and will be fully operational at the end of August. It unites under one roof care currently provided in 11 different locations within the canton which will greatly improve patient pathways and create significant synergies.
Through its innovative concept, the MEA aims to open up psychiatry and have it takes its place as part of the city. It is the outcome of an inspiring and generous partnership between the HUG, Fondation Hans Wilsdorf and Fondation Children Action. Other private donors and legatees have also contributed to the creation of this new care structure.
