The only clinic for ābutterfly childrenā in Austria opens its doors to donors and interested persons.
We are delighted to learn that you are interested in our work for the ābutterfly childrenā. We offer you various opportunities to get to know the EB House and to learn about the disease Epidermolysis Bullosa as well as the activities of our four departments, which are the Outpatient Clinic, the Research Unit, the Study Centre and the Academy.
An Insight into the EB House Austria
The interior designers of the EB House Austria made sure that a friendly atmosphere would be created, one that would make EB patients, their relatives and visitors feel at ease as soon as they entered the building. All the rooms are designed in different colours in accordance with the Feng Shui concept. In the EB House Outpatient Clinic - in contrast to the usual attitude to dogs in a hospital - therapy dogs are welcome companions of our patients.
The picture gallery will give you a brief insight into our rooms.
