Heidelberg University Hospital (UKHD) and the Medical Faculty at Heidelberg (MFHD) comprise one of the largest and most modern medical facilities in Germany.
UKHD is a group with 14 subsidiaries.

Our mission

We see ourselves as the link between excellent research, future-oriented care, and outstanding teaching – to the benefit of our patients, who need the special capabilities and new insights of the University Medical Center in order to experience relief or a cure.

Our aim

Preparing our campus today for the medicine of tomorrow – digitalization, personalized medicine, and the translation between research and application are currently priority topics. This is why we are constantly expanding our infrastructure. For example, our new surgical building with 16 cutting-edge operating rooms, the planned interdisciplinary Heart Center, as well as planned the Hopp Children’s Cancer Center at Heidelberg. By means of numerous innovative projects, such as the National Center for Tumor Diseases (NCT Heidelberg) and collaborations, UKHD and MFHD are part of regional, national and international networks and are willing to provide decisive impulses for the further development of healthcare and research.

Our joint approach

Hospital and faculty are the largest employer and trainer in the city of Heidelberg. With their great commitment, approximately 14,000 employees in more than 100 job occupations contribute to ensuring that this ultramodern campus is constantly in motion and deve­loping.
