Institute of Emergency Medicine

The Institute of Emergency Medicine at the University Hospital Zürich is there for its patients around the clock and treats about 45,000 people annually across the entire spectrum of emergency medicine. We offer not only comprehensive medical care on site but also close collaboration with the various clinics, centers, and institutes of the University Hospital Zürich. In this way, we guarantee optimal and timely follow-up treatment in emergencies. The institute's team consists of highly qualified professionals distinguished by their expertise and empathy. Also worth highlighting is the institute's innovative strength: new treatment methods and technologies are regularly developed in order to continuously increase patient safety and satisfaction.

The location of the institute in Zürich is ideal for emergencies. The USZ is centrally located and easily reachable both by public transport and by car. This minimizes the time until treatment in life-threatening situations. Our emergency center is also equipped with the latest technical devices in order to be able to offer the best possible medical care at all times. Trends in emergency medicine are always recognized here and integrated into our practice.

The Institute of Emergency Medicine is aimed at everyone who needs fast and high-quality medical help in emergencies. This includes not only acute medical problems but also the care of patients with chronic conditions who suddenly require emergency care. We take particular account of the needs of trauma patients, cardiological emergencies, and the care of critically ill emergency patients.
