Our Focus Areas


At Essen University Hospital, our range of medical and scientific services is comprehensive and varied. Three focus areas receive special attention: cardiovascular disease, oncology, and transplants. Networking among our clinical and scientific facilities leads to new methods and improved procedures in patient care. In fact, this networking is so extensive that each and every clinic and institute belongs to at least one of these focus areas.

Apart from these major focus areas, the University Hospital has been successfully concentrating on its research areas genetic medicine, immunology and infectiology.
