Department of Gastroenterology and Hepathologie

The Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology at the University Hospital Zurich offers comprehensive diagnostics and therapy for diseases of the digestive tract. Particularly noteworthy are the modern technical capabilities that enable the experts to provide the highest medical standards. The clinic places great value on prevention and early detection, in order to allow patients an early diagnosis and, consequently, a better prognosis. In addition to treating acute and chronic conditions, comprehensive follow-up care is also offered to ensure the success of the therapy.

An important part of the clinic is the performance of endoscopic and sonographic procedures. Thanks to the team's many years of experience in these areas, as well as the most modern equipment, diagnoses can be made precisely and quickly. Furthermore, special consultation hours are available for the treatment of hepatology, chronic inflammatory bowel diseases, and functional disorders of the gastrointestinal tract. In particularly difficult medical situations, an individual therapy is developed that is tailored to the needs of the patients.

In addition, the clinic is strongly engaged in research, which is underlined by its own study center. Here, patients can take part in clinical trials that offer innovative therapies and medications, whereby their treatment prospects can be considerably improved. The clinic has also gained international recognition, having been named the best Swiss specialized clinic in the "World's Best Specialized Hospitals 2026" ranking. These achievements demonstrate the outstanding commitment of the team and the high quality of treatment that patients receive.
