Infectious Diseases and Hospital Hygiene Hirslanden Central Switzerland offers a broad spectrum of patient care at the two locations of AndreasKlinik in Cham and Klinik St. Anna in Lucerne. While infectious diseases focuses on the prevention and treatment of infectious illnesses, hospital hygiene makes an important contribution to minimizing hospital-acquired infections and thus to quality assurance.

- Long-Covid-Clinics
In addition to targeted treatment, we also provide preventive advice on vaccination issues related to immune deficiencies, chronic illnesses, or upcoming travel.
Referrals for Infectious Disease Clinics
Our clinic appointments are currently fully booked for several months. For this reason, we are unfortunately unable to accept any new referrals until further notice. Thank you for your understanding.
Our expertise is available to inpatients and to patients referred from private practices. Please understand that, due to currently strained resources, appointments for consultations can only be scheduled according to medical priority.
Hospital Hygiene
Hospital hygiene identifies, monitors, and prevents hospital-acquired infections. Our specialists develop measures for continuous internal quality improvement, implement them, and evaluate their positive impact. These measures help to continuously increase safety for our patients, visitors, and staff in an increasingly complex hospital environment. The key areas of hospital hygiene include:
Development, training, and monitoring of hygiene guidelines
Hospital hygiene consulting
Support and supervision of isolation measures
Infection surveillance and implementation of measures for infection prevention
Measures to combat multidrug-resistant organisms
Continuous quality improvement is ensured through interdisciplinary collaboration within the clinics and via a hygiene and quality committee.
