About hospital
According to the authoritative Focus magazine, the University Hospital Bonn ranks among the top ten medical facilities in Germany!
The hospital was opened on January 1, 2001, although in fact it inherits the medical facility, which operated at the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Bonn. The hospital in Germany combines all the highest standards of modern university medicine of the international level. A highly competent team of experienced physicians, which consists of more than 8,000 employees from various fields, takes care of the patients’ health.
The hospital has 32 specialized departments and 23 institutes, which implement the highest standards of treatment in Germany. On their basis, in addition to the successful clinical activities, the productive research and training of young specialists are carried out. Also, the hospital has 10 intensive care units and more than 30 cutting-edge operating rooms. They are equipped with the advanced surgical, navigation and monitoring systems, which provide sparing and the most effective surgical treatment. The total number of places for hospitalization is 1,250 beds.
The hospital presents all fields of medicine, while many of them are awarded by prestigious German and international certificates. For example, in 2007, the Comprehensive Cancer Center of the hospital became one of the four winners at the nationwide competition among Cancer Centers of Excellence. The research focuses primarily on the clinical genetics and genetic epidemiology, neurology, immunology and infectiology, hepatology and gastroenterology, and diseases of the cardiovascular system. The research findings contribute to the development of new therapeutic methods and overall improvement of treatment in Germany.
The main value for all employees of the hospital in Germany is human health, his individual needs and wishes, therefore, despite the high-tech infrastructure, the focus remains on the human attitude and respect for each patient.
