AKH and its Mandate

In Vienna General Hospital patient care, teaching and research are regarded as inseparable and equal entities. The human dimension is the focal point of all tasks and objectives.

Vienna General Hospital performs all services in accordance with the standard of a university hospital while observing ethical principles and due consideration for the economic environment.

Vienna General Hospital regards all institutions, providers and suppliers in the health care system as partners and recognises their services.

Services which can be provided to an equal standard by other health care establishments do not fall exclusively within the mandated scope of the Vienna General Hospital.
