The Hirslanden Group’s partner doctor scheme explained briefly

With us, patients receive the very best possible treatment. The fact that we maintain this standard is down not only to our outstanding medical infrastructure, but also to our approximately 2,300 first-class partner doctors: Within our partner doctor system, specialists work as independent partner doctors in interdisciplinary medical centres of excellence. By bringing these core areas of expertise together, professional exchange, mutual cover and interdisciplinary collaboration are guaranteed at all times for the benefit of our patients.

Over 100,000 in-patient admissions per year, around 50 per cent of whom are covered by basic health insurance.

Our patients’ recommendation rate is over 90 per cent.

We rely on our extensive network of specialists in Switzerland: it is the combination of the expertise of our in-house doctors and our partner doctors that makes all the difference.
