About the clinic

University Hospital Frankfurt am Main of Goethe-University, has a close affiliation with Goethe-University, founded in 1914 with a medical faculty inside. Many of the hospital facilities are also rooted in the foundation of Johann Christian Senckenberg, which included a community hospital (founded in 1884). One of the Sachsenhausen City Hospital surgeons performed the world's first heart surgery in 1896. In addition, before the university was founded, there was already the Neurological Institute as a private foundation by Ludwig Edinger, the "Friedrichsheim" orthopedic clinic as a foundation of the "Cripple Welfare Association" – today's Department of adult and pediatric orthopedic – and the "Braunfels'sche Annie Foundation" as the nucleus of the modern Department of pediatric and adolescent medicine. The current University Hospital Frankfurt am Main of Goethe-University is the biggest hospital in Frankfurt am Main. In 2014, the hospital was renovated, and the design received the European Healthcare Design Award in 2017.   32 specialist clinics and clinical institutes and more than 20 research institutes comprise the hospital. More than 6,800 employees work in the hospital. The facility's total size is 425,000 m2, with 1496 inpatient beds, including day hospital places. The hospital provides medical care for 50,000 inpatients and 450,000 outpatients annually. The close interaction with non-university institutes and research centers was and is of great importance for the hospital, such as the cooperation with the "Royal Institute for Experimental Therapy", where Paul Ehrlich worked in 1899 and was awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1908 and discovered the first modern antimicrobial agent for treating syphilis.  The Frankfurt University Hospital works together with the medical faculty of Goethe University in Frankfurt. It is a regionally leading training provider and further education for doctors and healthcare professionals. In addition, 4,000 students receive their medical education in 14 lecture halls and across the departments. The hospital offers a full range of medical services in all medical specialties. The hospital departments include but are not limited to the University Center for Tumor Diseases (UCT), the department of general, visceral, transplant, and thoracic surgery, and diagnostic and interventional radiology. A particular focus is the treatment of severe and complex suits through interdisciplinary and intersectoral service offers.

Doctor Vogl helped us fight hepatocellular carcinoma in the liver of my father. My dad had four sessions of intraarterial local chemotherapy that reduced the mass. We are happy to have you with us!
