About University Clinic of Essen
Essen University Hospital is a pace setter for first-rate medical services in the Ruhr metropolis. Here, scientific research is tightly interwoven with medical practice, directly benefitting patients who can be certain that they will receive the latest available therapies. In clinical trials, they receive innovative treatments from which patients elsewhere will not benefit until many years later once they become standard therapies everywhere.
Every year, about 195,000 outpatients and 53,000 inpatients are treated here. With its many top modern clinics, nearly three miles of roads, and 54 acres of land, the University Hospital is almost like a small city within the city. And it is one of the biggest employers of the region: more than 6,000 people work here in many different professions, from physicians, scientists, nurses and physiotherapists, to engineers and chefs.
We offer medical care with state-of-the art diagnostics and therapies that live up to the highest international standards. For many years now we have focused on three major areas of research and treatment: cardiovascular disease, cancer, and transplants. Our Organ Center, for example, has been a leader in the Eurotransplant region since 2008. The oncology focus is being enhanced by the construction of the West German Proton Therapy Center Essen. Proton therapy is a promising approach in cancer treatment particularly where sensitive regions of the body are affected. In 2009, we also created a place to go for critically ill patients who often can no longer be treated at other hospitals: the Center for Terminal Heart and Lung Failure. Essen University Hospital has also made a name for itself in many other fields outside its focus areas. Examples are the Perinatal Center, the Integrated Stroke Unit, and the Headache Center.
As a maximum care hospital, the Universitätsklinikum Essen (University Hospital Essen) is the hospital for the Ruhr Metropolitan Region. Every year our hospital treats about 49,000 in-patients in approx. 1300 beds, and about 163,000 patients are treated as out-patients. Experts in different disciplines enable excellent interdisciplinary diagnostics and treatment based on state of the art research. Inquiries from abroad are dealt with at the University Hospital by the Foreign Patient Service (FPS).
If you have questions, please, call us anytime. We would be glad to answer them even before your coming to Germany.
This year, Essen University Hospital is celebrating a very special anniversary-100 years. Back in 1909, it took up its operation as the “Städtische Krankenanstalt” with only four clinics. Since then, the Hospital has continuously evolved, becoming a teaching hospital in 1963. As a maximum care hospital it is known today as the “Ruhr metropolis hospital”. With its many top modern clinics and other buildings, nearly three miles of roads, and 54 acres of land, the University Hospital is almost like a small city within the city.
Essen University Hospital offers medical care, the latest diagnostics and comprehensive therapies that live up to the highest international standards. This led to Essen University Hospital being ranked number 6 among all 35 German university hospitals on the treatment severity index, putting it in the top position for North Rhine-Westphalia. In our work, we focus on three major areas of research and treatment: cardiovascular disease, cancer, and transplants.
Extensive networking throughout the University Hospital makes each and every clinic and institute a part of at least one of these focus areas. Essen University Hospital has also made a name for itself in many other fields. Examples of this are the Center for Terminal Heart and Lung Failure, the Perinatal Center, the HIV Outpatient Clinic, the Integrated Stroke Unit, and the Headache Center.
Research at the University of Duisburg-Essen Medical Faculty at the University Hospital of Essen focuses on the key areas of cardiovascular medicine, oncology and transplants as well as genetic medicine, infectious diseases and immunology. Locating the faculty and the University Hospital on a single campus enables us to interlink research and clinical care very closely, ensuring we are able to apply the latest findings very quickly to the care we give our patients.
