Düsseldorf University Hospital (UKD) is the largest hospital in the state capital and one of the most important medical centers in North Rhine-Westphalia. The 9,300 employees at UKD and its subsi­diaries are committed to treating over 45,000 inpatients and 270,000 outpa­tients every year. The UKD stands for inter­na­tional excel­lence in patient care, research and teaching, as well as for innovative and safe diagno­stics, therapy and prevention. Patients benefit from the intensive inter­di­sci­plinary coope­ration between the 60 clinics and insti­tutes.
