About the clinic

The University Hospital Schleswig-Holstein Lubeck (UKSH) is the most modern hospital in Germany. The Schleswig-Holstein University Medical Center resulted from a merger between the university hospitals in Kiel and Lübeck in 2003. The hospital serves to provide maximum medical care in the northernmost federal state. Furthermore, it guarantees medical and technical assistance at the highest level, especially for patients requiring highly differentiated diagnostics and therapy. About 2,000 doctors, scientists, and 3,600 nurses use the latest diagnostic and therapeutic technologies to serve more than 360,000 inpatients and outpatients annually in 80 clinics and institutes. In 2019, the hospital was reorganized, and now the central building area is more than 65,000 square meters, where short distances, short waiting times, and short stay times are possible. The hospital has five intensive care units with 198 beds, an operating room with 20 rooms, including a hybrid operating room, and three additional service units with 87 beds. The clinic's medical services exceed that of a conventional hospital due to the close relationship between research and healthcare. Patients benefit from the relationship between high-impact care and interdisciplinary research, as scientific results are directly integrated into clinical practice. Research focuses on inflammation and infection, clinical genome research, systems-oriented neuroscience, oncology, reproductive medicine, transplantation medicine, and biomedical technologies such as endocrine control and regulation. In addition, the UKSH international unit provides special services for patients from abroad. A multilingual team informs patients of the wide range of medical services offered in the clinics and takes care of them. The medical team has exceptional experience in cardiology, rheumatology, and oncology. Specialized departments include obstetrics, gynecology, urology, traumatology, and orthopedics. The experts use the possibilities of digital technologies to gain new insights and make precisely tailored diagnostic and therapeutic decisions.
