As a maximum care hospital, the Universitätsklinikum Essen (University Hospital Essen) is the hospital for the Ruhr Metropolitan Region. Every year our hospital treats about 49,000 in-patients in approx. 1300 beds, and about 163,000 patients are treated as out-patients. Experts in different disciplines enable excellent interdisciplinary diagnostics and treatment based on state-of-the-art research.

Our work includes:

• contacting the specialist departments,
• preparing cost estimates,
