Cutting-edge medicine for women and children
As an international center for obstetrics (center of excellence), we offer:
- Maximum safety thanks to a high level of medical expertise and experience (university hospital).
- The Perinatal Center for premature births (in particular babies weighing less than 1,500 g);
- Comprehensive, competent care thanks to interdisciplinary cooperation within the university hospital.
- Competent care for high-risk births for mother and child in the perinatal center (obstetrics + neonatology).
- Proximity to intensive care unit for newborns;
- State-of-the-art infrastructure for diagnostics and therapy (university hospital).
- Emergency caesarean section possible within a few minutes.
In addition, we offer you individual care and the highest possible level of self-determination by:
- Support a natural (gentle) birth whenever possible. Use of technology only when medically necessary.
- Accompany women individually and respect the woman’s/couple’s right to make informed choices and share decisions (different birth positions, water birth).
- provide very individual holistic care for women (during pregnancy, during childbirth, in the postpartum period) in a family-oriented setting.
- ensure optimal support or promotion of the mother-child relationship (rooming in).
- We offer postpartum (and prenatal) hospitalization in friendly two- (three-) bed rooms with a beautiful view over the whole of Zurich.
