Asklepios Hospital Kandel

Asklepios Hospital Kandel is an acute care clinic that has been providing services since 1913. 178 beds are available to patients for inpatient cure on a 24-hour basis. Dedication and patient orientation are integral to service and contribute to the continuous development of services. The medical center has more than 10 departments that treat patients of varying degrees of severity. High-tech equipment and conveniences in the interior especially consider the needs of customers. More than 15 years ago, the chest department received the first quality certificate in the region. Cancer patients are also treated according to the recommendations of the German Cancer Society. In particular, since 2020, the vascular surgery department has been operating in the medical center. Considerable attention is paid to the trauma service. For example, an endoprosthesis center on the territory is certified and meets the strict criteria of modern therapy. Orthopedists also offer conservative meniscus surgery and cartilage-sparing methods of knee treatment, minimally invasive cruciate ligament replacement by tendon transplantation, spine surgery in the form of kyphoplasty, multimodal conservative cure with various types of analgesia, physical therapy, and manual therapy. Since 2016, Asklepios Clinic in Kandel has been part of the "Pfalz" trauma network. Also, another expansion of services was introduced in 2018 in the form of geriatric remedies. A multidisciplinary team of doctors, nurses, rehabilitators, and social services provides comprehensive care and treatment within one department. Specialized treatment is also available in the center for breast cancer, gastroenterology, arthroplasty, hernia, bariatrics, and cardiology. Surgeons use gentle, minimally invasive techniques, such as laparoscopy. This approach allows for the reduction of traumatization of healthy tissues. Also, in 2013, a modern heart catheter laboratory was equipped to detect and treat diseases in the early stages. Cooperation with the West German Oncology Center contributed to the formation of an interdisciplinary oncology conference, which also increased the possibilities of early treatment and prevention of diseases. Asklepios Medical Center in Kandel provides medical services beyond the general therapeutic profile. The specialized and highly qualified work of cardiologists, urologists, oncologists, gynecologists, surgeons, and orthopedists meets the gold standards. In addition, rehabilitation, geriatric care, and recovery are also available.
