        Where is the University Hospital Bonn located?

         

        Bonn is a small German city that was the capital of the Federal Republic of Germany for more than 40 years, until its unification with East Germany in 1990. The city is located on the river Rhine. The population of Bonn slightly exceeds 300,000 people.

        Despite the small size of the city, there is a large university here which has been functioning since 1697. Emperor Wilhelm II and Karl Marx studied at the University of Bonn in their time. Today, this university has one of the largest hospitals in Germany – the University Hospital Bonn, where patients from all over the world come for treatment.

        The city has a well-developed transport network. There is no subway here, but there are buses and trams, which also cover intercity routes. Trams can even take you to nearby located, Cologne. There is an international airport between Bonn and Cologne, which receives flights from all countries.

        Spheres of Hospital Specialization

        The staff of the University Hospital Bonn include more than 4,500 employees; over 750 of them are doctors. Thanks to their skills, active scientific work, and high treatment success rates, the leading specialists of the hospital are known far beyond the borders of Germany.

        Prof. Dr. med. Markus Essler heads the Department of Nuclear Medicine. All known radionuclide methods are used in the department. These include the treatment of bone metastases with Radium-223, diagnostics and treatment with Lutetium-177 for prostate cancer, radioiodine therapy with Iodine-131 in pathologies of the thyroid gland, and radioimmunotherapy with Yttrium-90.

        Prof. Essler is a member of the German Society of Nuclear Medicine (DGN), the European Association of Nuclear Medicine (EANM), and other professional communities. He has patented the treatment method for multiple myeloma with Bismuth-213 labeled anti-CD38 antibodies. The professor also discovered the specific peptide which makes the selective introduction of drugs in the breast tissue during its precancerous changes possible.

        Prof. Dr. med. Frank Holz heads the Department of Ophthalmology. Before joining the University Hospital Bonn, he studied at universities in Germany and the USA. The professor has more than 20 years of work experience. His special interests include macular retinal degeneration and methods of vision restoration in cases of retinal damage.

        Prof. Holtz is a member of the European Board of Ophthalmology (EBO), the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO), and the German Ophthalmological Society (DOG). He is one of the developers of the laser retinal correction technique.

Prof. Bootz performs endoscopic and open surgical interventions in patients of all age groups, starting with young children. During surgical procedures, a 3D navigation system is used. It minimizes the risk of complications and allows the doctor to predict treatment results in advance.

He also developed manuals for imaging and surgery of the skull base, which are actively used by students and practitioners.

        Prof. Elger regularly participates in specialized clinical investigations and is a member of groups working on the elaboration of new options for the treatment of epilepsy.

        Prof. Dr. med. Peter Brossart is the Head of the Department of Oncology, Hematology, Rheumatology, and Immune Oncology.

        Organization of Treatment at the University Hospital Bonn

         

        Doctors of the hospital willingly admit for treatment not only German citizens, but also foreign patients. People from any country can receive medical care here. Due to the high rating of the hospital, thousands of international patients use this opportunity annually.

        Nevertheless, a medical tourist may face a lot of difficulties, such as:

        • Organizational aspects – you need to apply for a visa, translate medical documents into German, agree on the treatment with the administration of the hospital, solve all domestic and legal issues, and find an interpreter.
        • Trip to Germany and back – you need to book tickets for the desired date, get from the airport to Bonn and then to the hospital, find a hotel for the accompanying person, etc.
        • Waiting for admission – if you have an emergency situation, you will have to wait a few weeks for hospitalization; if you are going to receive a non-emergency treatment, waiting for an appointment can take several months.

        All these issues can be successfully solved by the company, Booking Health. We have been involved in the medical tourism industry for many years and we are experts in this field. Booking Health offers help in the following important aspects:
