history
On July 27, 1907, the general city hospitals were officially opened, followed by the Düsseldorf Academy for Practical Medicine . The director was Oskar Witzel appointed. On the premises were the surgery , internal medicine , paediatrics clinics with Arthur Schloßmann as head doctor, gynecology and obstetrics with Hugo Sellheim as head doctor, infectology with an attached institute for experimental therapy , skin and venereal diseases , ear, nose and throat medicine , Ophthalmology and pathology under the direction of Lubarsch . The psychiatry was located in the Rhineland Provincial and Nursing Institution in Grafenberg .
After the Second World War, the hospital and the academy gained a worldwide reputation in cardiac research, especially as 1952 the cardiac surgeon and Director of the Surgical Clinic from 1946 to 1969, Ernst Derra , using a heart-lung machine , the first operation at the open heart succeeded . In 1958 the new construction of the surgical clinic, at that time one of the most modern clinic buildings in the world, was opened.
After the medical academy had already merged into the newly founded University of Düsseldorf in 1965 , the state of North Rhine-Westphalia also took over the sponsorship of the hospitals on January 1, 1973 , which at that time were renamed the Düsseldorf University Hospital . In the meantime, the University of Düsseldorf has moved into the first new buildings on the campus south of the clinic premises. From 1973 the preclinical and other medical institutes were also located here . The facilities, which were mainly used for clinical care and research, remained on the clinic premises.
A comprehensive modernization of the clinics began in 1985 with the opening of the newly built Medical-Neurological-Radiological Clinic (MNR-Clinic), which also includes the highest building in the clinic. This was followed by the construction of the Center for Children - and Adolescent Medicine at and around the site of the old children's hospital. The modernization process included the new data center at the location of the old boiler house.
In 2013, the German Cancer Aid included the university clinic in the list of top oncological centers for the first time. Associated with this is funding from the University Tumor Center Düsseldorf (UTZ) totaling three million euros for three years.
After a long construction period, the Center for Operative Medicine II was opened as the new center of the clinic in June 2014 . The clinics for ENT, neurosurgery, maxillofacial and plastic facial surgery, trauma and hand surgery as well as orthopedics have been integrated into it. It comprises operating theaters, medical wards including an intensive care unit and the new central emergency room with shock rooms and a helicopter roof landing pad. The opening was originally planned for 2009, but commissioning was not possible due to problems with fire protection. The media called the facility a "ghost clinic". Legal disputes have been announced regarding the executing company Imtech .
criticism
In 2018, the WDR criticized the clinic for not paying enough attention to hygiene and for moving patients from intensive care to normal wards too early. That led to deaths.
