Vienna Mayor Ludwig: Medicine and Research at Top Level

The Mayor of Vienna expressed his delight in a statement on Thursday about the recognition of the capital as an "international health metropolis": "As a central provider, the University Hospital AKH Vienna offers the complete spectrum of medicine as well as research at an international top level," emphasized Michael Ludwig (SPÖ). "Publicly accessible top-level medicine and well-trained specialist staff must continue to be a matter of course in this city," he referred to the 3.3 billion euro modernization program of the municipal hospitals, which was presented at the red-pink government retreat in mid-January.

The University Hospital AKH Vienna/MedUni Vienna complex comprises 29 university clinics with almost 400 outpatient clinics. Annually, around 60,000 patients are treated as inpatients, while the outpatient clinics and special outpatient clinics are frequented about 1.2 million times. Together with the doctors of MedUni Vienna, around 3,000 nursing staff, over 1,000 specialists from medical, therapeutic, and diagnostic health professions, as well as many other employees from various professional groups of AKH Vienna, which is part of the Vienna Health Association, provide care.
