About the clinic
Asklepios Clinic Nord - Heidberg along Tangstedter Landstraße operates as a high-capacity acute medical institution providing critical emergency and specialized care for northern Hamburg and neighboring Schleswig-Holstein. The campus distinguishes itself across the metropolitan region through its focus on maternal, neonatal, and pediatric medicine, centered on the specialized pediatric infrastructure. As a certified highest-level perinatal center, the hospital integrates high-risk obstetrics, neonatology, pediatric surgery, and pediatric intensive care into a single, synchronized unit, enabling zero-delay intervention for complex congenital anomalies, extreme prematurity, and acute pediatric emergencies. The facility is recognized for its elite concentration of surgical divisions for the head, neck, and sensory organs. Its department of oral and maxillofacial surgery handles intricate craniofacial reconstructions, orthognathic corrections, oncological resections, and plastic facial procedures, working in close operational connection with an expansive ear, nose, and throat (ENT) and head-and-neck surgery center that performs advanced skull-base interventions and reconstructive ear surgeries. This head-and-neck authority is reinforced by a high-volume ophthalmology department specialized in ocular tumors, retinal pathologies, and orbital trauma, as well as a full-scale neurosurgery unit equipped with computer-assisted navigation and intraoperative neuro-monitoring for brain, spinal, and peripheral nerve disorders. The clinic supports an active social and educational life. For example, charity gatherings for the Hands for Children association, which supports children with disabilities, and health lectures for residents are integral parts of the medical center. Also, the hospital annually cares for and treats children from crisis and military zones at its own expense. Affection, the best care, and ideal conditions for children gave the clinic a special award with the "Baby-Friendly" quality mark. The clinic has numerous certified specialized centers.

Maxillofacial and plastic surgeons, for the eighth time, and psychiatrists, for the fourth time, were recognized as the best by the same Focus magazine.
