People at the centre

As a successful private clinic in Basel, we combine cutting-edge medicine with first-class service and a unique feel-good atmosphere. With our five focus areas of gynaecology, pregnancy & birth, musculoskeletal system, rehabilitation and palliative medicine, patients and parents-to-be of all insurance classes benefit from state-of-the-art treatment centres under one roof - in the middle of one of the most beautiful hospital parks in north-western Switzerland.

Every year, we treat around 6000 inpatients and accompany them on their path to recovery. We live interdisciplinary cooperation according to a holistic approach: in line with our credo "Focus on people", patient satisfaction is particularly important to us. The special family atmosphere, an ambience in which patients feel comfortable, as well as medicine, care and therapy at the highest level are what make us special - we are happy to be there for you and your health.

Titular professorship for PD Dr Christopher Böhlke - an extraordinary milestone

PD Dr Christopher Böhlke, senior physician at Bethesda Hospital's Palliative Care Centre, has been appointed titular professor by the University of Basel's Faculty of Medicine.
This honour is a significant milestone - particularly in palliative care, where professorships are rare. It is all the more remarkable that this appointment was made at a peripheral hospital.

With Prof Dr Jan Gärtner and Prof Dr Christopher Böhlke, two professors of palliative care are working at the same hospital - a unique constellation in Switzerland. Both also work together in a growing team in the Palliative Care Research Group at the Department of Clinical Research and co-operate closely with the Swiss Go Trial Group in conducting clinical trials at the University Hospital Basel.

We warmly congratulate Prof Böhlke on this special recognition of his many years of commitment to medicine, research and teaching.

Bethesda Spital ist Schweizer Spitzenreiter in der Infektionsprävention

Am 28. Mai 2025 nahm das Bethesda Spital erneut an der nationalen Swissnoso-Erhebung teil – mit einem herausragenden Ergebnis:
Nur 1 % unserer Patientinnen und Patienten hatten eine spitalerworbene Infektion.
Zum Vergleich: Der schweizweite Durchschnitt liegt bei 5.9 %.

Dieses Resultat bestätigt eindrücklich die Wirksamkeit unseres Infektionspräventionssystems und das tägliche Engagement aller Teams. Seit 2008 führen wir im Bethesda Spital jährlich Prävalenzstudien durch, seit 2022 beteiligen wir uns zusätzlich an der Swissnoso-Erhebung.
Unsere Rate an Spitalinfektionen (HAI) bleibt dabei seit Jahren konstant niedrig.

Diese Leistung ist kein Zufall – sie ist Ausdruck unserer gelebten Kultur der Qualität und Sicherheit.

Ein herzliches Dankeschön an alle Mitarbeitenden, die tagtäglich höchste Hygienestandards einhalten und umsetzen!
