University Hospital Aachen RWTH / Universitatsklinikum Aachen (UKA)

The University Hospital Aachen (UKA) is a modern centre for high performance medicine, which enjoys an excellent reputation far beyond the city boundaries. Combined under its roof are consistent patient-oriented medical treatment, efficient teaching and innovative research, as the UKA also hosts the Medical Faculty of RWTH Aachen University, founded in 1966.

We offer our patients the highest level of treatment, i.e. 32 departments and 25 institutes cover the entire spectrum of modern medicine. Approximately 1,400 beds are available for inpatient medical care. Annually about 45,000 inpatients and 200,000 out-patients benefit from the highest standards of medical treatment.

Highly qualified teams of physicians, nurses and researchers are competently committed and dedicated to the health of our patients. The proximity of medical treatment, research and teaching allows for an intensive interdisciplinary exchange and close clinical and academic integration. Particularly the cooperation of medical treatment and research proves directly advantageous to our patients, as treatment is always provided according to state-of-the-art science.
