The RWTH Aachen University Hospital is located in the west of Aachen in the Laurensberg district in one of the largest hospital buildings in Europe. As a university maximum care provider, the University Hospital Aachen cared for around 50,000 inpatients and 200,000 outpatients in 2017. The university hospital employs around 7,000 staff in 36 specialist clinics and 25 institutes, six of which are responsible for patient care tasks.
Intensive interdisciplinary exchange and close clinical and scientific networking are made possible by the architectural and organisational bundling of patient care, research and teaching under one roof.
