Musculoskeletal system - All about your mobility

Whether back problems, rheumatism or arthritis: the musculoskeletal system is a core competence of Bethesda Hospital. Experienced doctors and accredited attending physicians are at your side in our in-house clinics. From consultations and personal consultations through to complex treatment, we are there for you and treat your concerns attentively and with respect.

In our Rheumatism/Pain, Orthopaedics, Spine Centre and Centre for Therapy and Training clinics, our specialists from various disciplines work closely together. This ensures a comprehensive diagnosis even for complex and chronic illnesses. We also attach great importance to human warmth, empathy and care - you will feel it.

«I felt that I was taken seriously and in extremely good hands right from the start.»

Welt Down Syndrom Tag am 21. März – Vielfalt bereichert

Am 21. März ist Welt Down Syndrom Tag. Dieses Datum wurde bewusst gewählt, weil bei Menschen mit Down Syndrom das 21. Chromosom dreifach vorhanden ist – eine Besonderheit, die als Trisomie 21 bekannt ist.

Weltweit stehen an diesem Tag Menschen mit dem Extra-Chromosom im Mittelpunkt. Wir nutzen diesen Anlass, um an die Vielfalt des menschlichen Lebens zu erinnern und sichtbar zu machen, wie sehr Menschen mit Down Syndrom unser Leben und unsere Gesellschaft bereichern.

Positive mention of the orthopaedic clinic at Bethesda Hospital in Kassensturz

The orthopaedic clinic at Bethesda Hospital was positively highlighted in an article in the consumer magazine Kassensturz on 4 March 2025. The reason for this is the recording of Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs), which measure the success of treatment from the patient's perspective.

The programme discussed the fact that although Switzerland has an expensive healthcare system, it does not always perform well when it comes to collecting quality data. PROMs are considered an important indicator as they directly reflect how patients are doing after treatment.

The Orthopaedics Clinic at Bethesda Hospital already actively uses these measurements, for example for shoulder operations. Patients regularly indicate how well they can use their shoulder again. This form of quality measurement offers a valuable addition to classic indicators such as complication or infection rates.
