Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the implementation of specific recommendations for providers caring for pediatric Ukrainian refugees new to Switzerland, including the care provided and the challenges faced. Pediatricians were invited via newsletters to participate in an online questionnaire.
Despite high levels of awareness of the recommendations, their implementation varied. Preventive care and mental health support require improvement. Care-enabling policies have been identified and are warranted.
