The Claraspital

The Claraspital in Basel is a privately run, highly specialised acute hospital and an indispensable part of healthcare provision in Basel and north-western Switzerland. It is characterised by outstanding treatment and comprehensive medical expertise, which are provided with the standard of care of a private hospital.

The Claraspital has clearly positioned itself medically with its Tumour Centre, the Clarunis University Abdominal Centre, which is run jointly with the University Hospital, its mission for highly specialised visceral surgery, and the specialities of urology, pneumology/thoracic surgery, cardiology, general internal medicine/endocrinology with a nutrition centre, gynaecology and intensive care medicine.

The employees of the Claraspital characterise our hospital through their commitment, respectful interaction and awareness of high quality.

The Claraspital is a good size: large enough to practise highly specialised medicine, small enough for short distances, an uncomplicated high level of interdisciplinarity and a family atmosphere.

The Claraspital has various centres certified according to international guidelines, is a reference hospital for obesity and provides extended basic care with a 24-hour emergency service and outpatient clinics.

Clinical research, which is carried out directly on and with patients or with test subjects, is practised at the Claraspital. As a university teaching hospital of the Basel Medical Faculty, St. Clara Research and Clinical Documentation at the Claraspital has the task of providing researchers at the Claraspital with an optimal infrastructure.

Since its foundation, the Claraspital has seen itself as a learning organisation and is a university teaching and research hospital and SIWF-certified training centre.
