Not every single treatment needs to be carried out under inpatient conditions, but can possibly be performed under inpatient circumstances. It is our major goal to provide comprehensive information regarding any question on your disease pattern and we gladly take care of you during your stay in our hospital.

We attach special importance on your care as a patient and we hold the specialised care in oncology particularly dear. When it comes to regular surveys, our nursing staff is highly acclaimed.
