It thus creates the conditions for a sustainable strengthening of orthopaedic and traumatological care in the region. Patients at Männedorf Hospital have easy access to highly specialised diagnostics, treatment and rehabilitation for the musculoskeletal system close to home. The close collaboration ensures the supply chain from simple to complex cases from a single source.
Männedorf Hospital (SMA) and Balgrist University Hospital (Balgrist) have been working together successfully in the field of spinal medicine since February 2023. The full range of orthopaedics and traumatology services are now offered at Männedorf Hospital under the specialist management of Balgrist. From special consultations and conventional treatments to selected orthopaedic and traumatological procedures. In future, Balgrist staff will also be conducting consultations at the orthopaedic practice in Hombrechtikon, which belongs to Männedorf Hospital. This will ensure basic care close to home on the right bank of Lake Zurich with access to highly specialised medicine at Balgrist University Hospital.
Stefan Metzker, CEO of Männedorf Hospital, on the new collaboration: ‘Our main task is to guarantee our patients first-class medical care in the region and to offer referring physicians the best possible service. Orthopaedics and traumatology are key specialist areas of our hospital, which we are now continuing to provide at the highest level together with Balgrist University Hospital.’
Mazda Farshad, Medical Director of Balgrist University Hospital, is delighted: ‘The partnership allows us to offer the cutting-edge university medicine of Balgrist University Hospital regionally and from a single source. Patients thus have access to the entire range of treatments, from standard treatments regionally at Männedorf Hospital to highly complex treatments at Balgrist University Hospital.’
The ‘Clinic for Orthopaedics and Traumatology Balgrist - Männedorf Hospital’ is headed by the Chief Physician Prof. Samy Bouaicha, Senior consultant at Balgrist. He says: ‘I am particularly looking forward to working closely with the GPs in the region around Männedorf Hospital. This will strengthen the regional networks. Patients will find it easier to find their way around if they have fewer medical contacts and a direct route to the experienced specialist teams.’
