Auf Der Bult Kinder- und Jugendkrankenhaus

What Auf Der Bult Kinder- und Jugendkrankenhaus does

Auf Der Bult Kinder- und Jugendkrankenhaus is a specialized children's and youth hospital in Hannover, Germany, operated by the Hannoversche Kinderheilanstalt, a private-law foundation (Stiftung des privaten Rechts) established in 1863 and supervised by the Lower Saxony Ministry of the Interior. The hospital delivers multi-specialty pediatric care across neonatology, neurology, surgery, psychiatry and psychosomatics, dermatology, ENT, anesthesiology, and radiology, and is the only facility in Lower Saxony treating severely burned children. On October 2, 2025 it opened the HENRIKE Mother-Child Center in partnership with DIAKOVERE, which constitutes North Germany's largest perinatal center, and it operates an additional clinic in Celle.

The core service stack is built around inpatient and outpatient pediatric specialties, supported by an in-house Akademie, a speech-to-text based nursing documentation system, a clinical decision support and alarm system, a patient portal, and a telemedicine network. The technology layer is primarily workflow digitization and process automation rather than proprietary AI. Co-located partnerships with Marien-Apotheke, the Cochlear Implant Centrum, the SPZ, and the FREUNDE AUF DER BULT e.V. donor association extend the service offering and patient referral pathways.

Revenue is generated predominantly through German statutory and private health insurance reimbursement under the DRG/EBM system, supplemented by donations and foundation funding. Digitalization is partly financed by EU grants under the Krankenhauszukunftsgesetz (Hospital Future Act). The hospital has 300 parking spaces and multiple inpatient treatment stations, with HENRIKE materially expanding the billable capacity base from late 2025.
