All children who receive a renal transplant are cared for in age-appropriate pediatric units, where a special emphasis is placed on their medical and psychosocial needs.

Chronic hemodialysis is provided at DaVita Healthcare Center, and chronic peritoneal dialysis training and monitoring are performed at a dedicated Chronic Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD) unit.
