A pleasant stay

It’s perfectly normal to be a little nervous before your visit to the hospital. You’re not familiar with the hospital environment and you’re not quite sure what’s going to happen. On this page, you can watch Joep's visit to the Sophia Children's Hospital. Choose one of the rooms in the hospital for a special tour with Joep and view 360-degree pictures of the rooms. This way you know what our hospital looks like before you visit us.

Are you visiting our hospital for tests or do you need to stay longer than a day? Your parents are allowed to stay by your side day and night. Other family members or other visitors are welcome between 2.00 p.m - 8.00 p.m.

In the room

If you have to stay during the night, you are assigned a room on the ward. Your parents can stay and sleep in your room. In addition to a shower and toilet, you will also find a tablet in your room. On this tablet, you can play games, surf the internet and view your own medical information. You can also watch the live broadcasts of Sophia TV on the tablet. You can use the tablet everywhere in our hospital. If you want to use Wi-Fi, choose 'hotspot' and agree to the terms and conditions.

Playroom

Most of our wards have a playroom. The playroom is open daily. This room can be used by you or your visitors, under supervision of an adult.
