About the clinic

Hospital Dritten Orden Munich is a highly specialized medical center dedicated to the comprehensive prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of a wide array of pathological conditions. Originally founded by a group of women inspired by the compassionate ideals of Saint Francis of Assisi to care for those in need, the institution has evolved into a premier modern medical facility that successfully balances cutting-edge science with its founding spiritual values. The hospital provides extensive inpatient capacity, along with specialized semi-stationary treatment facilities, supported by a dedicated workforce of nearly 2,000 employees. Each year, tens of thousands of patients receive expert inpatient care, while the facility’s emergency department serves as a vital anchor for the region’s urgent medical needs. The hospital is also a prominent center for obstetrics, facilitating thousands of births annually, and maintains a high surgical volume across both inpatient and outpatient sectors. The infrastructure is designed for holistic recovery; comfortable patient rooms are complemented by a tranquil garden that fosters a relaxing atmosphere, while pastors and social workers remain available to provide compassionate dialogue and competent guidance. As a member of the Quality Score Association for Church Hospitals, Hospital Dritten Orden Munich maintains rigorous standards of process and quality management. It serves as an authorized regional trauma center, providing round-the-clock care for injured patients in accordance with the strict quality requirements of the German Society for Traumatology (DGU). The clinic’s excellence is further validated by prestigious certifications from the German Cancer Society and the German Society of Cardiology. The medical philosophy at the hospital prioritizes conservative treatment methods, transitioning to surgical intervention only when necessary. Furthermore, the institution is recognized as a specialized center for thyroid and parathyroid surgery and as a center of excellence for minimally invasive surgery (MIS).
