history

The origins of the two city hospitals, Waid and Triemli, go back to the great shortage of hospital beds, which reached unsustainable proportions in the first half of the 20th century. After no political agreement was possible for several decades, the City of Zurich took the initiative with two major projects that are unique in Switzerland.

The Waid City Hospital opened in 1953 to supply the Zurich North region, followed by the Triemli City Hospital for the population on the left of the Limmat in 1970, which also provides cross-regional services.

In addition to the university hospitals, a large number of non-university teaching hospitals play an important role. The medical faculties are involved in the structured part of the advanced training on the basis of an explicit or implicit service mandate. On the other hand, the universities have no formal responsibility.
