Best support during pregnancy & birth

Becoming a mother is one of the most fascinating experiences in a woman's life. The beginning of pregnancy marks an incredibly exciting and emotional time - we are at your side from the start right through to the birth, answering your questions and supporting you in giving your child the best possible start in life.

Expectant parents want the best medical care for the nine months that will change their lives, as well as personalised care at eye level during pregnancy and birth. Here at Bethesda Hospital you will find both - and in addition, you can expect our typical family atmosphere with the feel-good factor for which we are known.

SRF visits our maternity department

On Tuesday, 1 April 2025, Swiss television channel SRF visited us at Bethesda Hospital. A team from the programme Schweiz aktuell filmed a report on modern obstetrics - with a focus on individual care and the wide range of services for expectant parents.

Our maternity department was able to show what makes it special. Ursula Lüscher, Head Midwife, and Head Physician Dr Bernd Gerresheim gave exciting insights into their everyday lives, explaining the changes in birth requests and how we meet them with flexibility, expertise and passion. The camera was also allowed to take a look into our birthing rooms and a postnatal room.

Put together your own birth team.

At Bethesda Hospital, we offer you a variety of birthing options that is unique in the region. You have the choice between various options. You can also put together your own personalised birthing team for your care. Our combination of the advantages of a traditional inpatient hospital and the benefits of our clinics run by head physicians offers you flexible and individualised options. No matter which option you choose, we are here for you with joy and commitment to make your birth experience special.
