Your clinic

With around 1,100 members of staff, we are one of Europe’s leading orthopaedic clinics. We are committed to restoring our patients’ mobility and eliminating our patients’ pain in the long term using state-of-the-art and conservative methods. Our clinic accepts patients with general and supplementary health insurance.

As a specialist orthopaedic clinic, we concentrate on offering first-class treatment for the musculoskeletal system. We focuse on orthopaedic surgery, spine neurosurgery, neurology, rheumatology, manual medicine and sports medicine. In the 2020 business year, we pursued our key priority of relieving people of their pain and restoring their mobility by performing over 9,200 operations and carrying out over 114,100 outpatient consultations. Schulthess Klinik is home to the Swiss Olympic Medical Center.

Founded in 1883, the clinic has been financially supported by the Wilhelm Schulthess Foundation since 1935. Our long-standing tradition of research is a testament to the clinic’s commitment to continually improving treatment.

Wilhelm Schulthess Foundation

The Schulthess Klinik has been supported by the non-profit Wilhelm Schulthess Foundation since 1935. People, their mobility and quality of life are at the heart of our day-to-day work. We devote all our energy to providing our patients with the best possible care and ensuring their quick recovery. We are also helping to make treatments better and safer with our long-standing research tradition.

Quality

Quality management at the Schulthess Klinik ensures that our services consistently meet stringent external and internal quality requirements.

The history

The clinic has come a long way and made tremendous technological progress between its founding by Wilhelm Schulthess and today’s centre of excellence. What has remained over the years, however, is the demand for the highest quality in the interests of our patients.

Research

The scientific work carried out by the Teaching, Research and Development department supports the clinic’s departments and thus helps improve patient care.

Partnerships

We make a difference with top-class medical services, a humane approach and innovation, along with a strong network consisting of over 60 Swiss and international cooperation partners from practice and science.
