Lausanne University Hospital, Academic medical center in Lausanne, Switzerland
Description
Lausanne University Hospital is an academic medical center in Switzerland housing multiple specialized departments such as emergency medicine, oncology, neurosciences, and surgical services across its campus. The facility spreads across several buildings and areas to support these diverse medical disciplines.
History
Founded in 1890, the facility grew from a regional healthcare center into one of Switzerland's five university hospitals. This transformation allowed the institution to become a leader in medical research and care for the Canton of Vaud region.
Culture
The hospital produces a bilingual magazine called In Vivo in French and English that shares medical research and health knowledge with the broader public. This publication bridges the gap between clinical work and community understanding of medical advances.
