The Hôpitaux universitaires de Genève ( HUG ) are the university hospital of Geneva .

This includes eight public clinics and 40 outpatient departments.

The hospital was founded in 1535 and has included most of the canton's public clinics since 1995. Today it has over 10,000 employees and 1,920 beds.

The WHO has chosen Geneva University Hospital as the reference hospital for hospital infections, thereby recognizing and recognizing ten years of intensive research and prevention work. The number of infections at the HUG has been halved. The preventive strategy that has been developed - known as the “Geneva Model” - is already being implemented in several clinics in Europe, the USA, Canada, China and Japan.

history

The general hospital, created in 1602 from the amalgamation of seven medieval hospitals, served as a hospital, hospice, orphanage, old people's home, psychiatric institution and penitentiary all in one. The hospital, which was declared a cantonal hospital in 1856, was transferred to the Geneva university clinics in 1995 as part of the reforms in the Swiss healthcare system. Today the Geneva university clinics function as a local hospital and reference hospital for top-class medicine. They see their main tasks in the provision of medical care for the general population as well as in the development of poles of excellence in cooperation with the University of Geneva.
