Abstract

In recent years, the number of refugees to Germany has risen dramatically. Nearly half of the refugees are under18, and alarge percentage of them have acute or chronic medical problems. This situation poses aunique challenge to pediatric hospitals. Interprofessional teams in pediatric urology departments mustcare for an increasing number of patients with genetic abnormalities and diseases, unusual urogenital trauma, as well as frequent multiresistent organisms. In addition, communication problems due to language barriers and intercultural differences abound. Successful urological care for these patients requires not only high technical skills, dedication and empathy, but also the ability to reflect on and adapt to different cultural perspectives.
