Helios Hospital Emil von Behring Berlin-Zehlendorf

Helios Hospital Emil von Behring Berlin-Zehlendorf is one of the most modern medical centers in southwest Berlin. The clinic was created due to the merger of three well-known Berlin hospitals: Oskar-Helen-Heim, the Hekeshorn Pulmonology Clinic, and the Behring Hospital. The qualified medical team of the hospital and an interdisciplinary approach provide a wide range of modern diagnostics and innovative treatment methods. As a primary care provider in the picturesque, green district of Steglitz-Zehlendorf in southwest Berlin, the hospital offers 507 beds, 15-day hospitals, 17 specialist departments, and seven certified centers. Doctors treat almost 25,000 inpatients and about 55,000 outpatients every year. Doctors of all specialties work around the clock in a modernly equipped emergency center, including a children's intensive care center, and serve more than 30,000 patients with acute diseases or injuries annually.  In addition, the clinic is recognized as a local trauma unit and provides qualified assistance to the seriously wounded. One of the directions of the hospital is visceral and minimally invasive surgery. The clinic's surgeons successfully perform operations on the gastrointestinal tract, with tumor diseases of the esophagus, liver, pancreas, and rectum. In 2009, the German Cancer Society certified the pulmonology department as a Lung Cancer Centre for the first time in Germany.  Today, the Lung Centre is one of the leading institutions in Europe in the field of thoracic oncology and also has outstanding experience in treating all other lung diseases. Emil von Behring Hospital includes departments of internal medicine, ophthalmology, otolaryngology, gynecology and urology, dermatology, endocrinology, and many others. In addition, the clinic's institutes for radiology, nuclear medicine and microbiology, immunology, and laboratory medicine provide fast and efficient diagnostics through close cooperation with all clinic departments. Conservative therapy and the most modern surgical interventions have been offered in the clinic, along with diverse medical services. The hospital also has a team of nutritionists, psychologists, and physiotherapists who help the patient through the rehabilitation phase of treatment.
