In these two modern surgical wards in the Zittau hospital up to 50 patients can be treated. Patients who are seriously ill and need a special and intensive therapy can be treated in our intensive-care unit. This unit is equipped with modern intensive-care technology and medicine. Our patients are accommodated in newly-established or reconstructed wards. For the necessary surgeries we have newly-built operating rooms at our disposal. They are equipped with state of the art medical technology.

In our daily work we are constantly seeking to offer our patients a high-end surgical treatment according to scientifically recognized standards. We regularly conduct advanced training courses and in-service training for doctors. We discuss and implement new guidelines and possibilities for treatment and, if necessary, modify established treatment procedures.
