Bethesda Hospital as a prime example: Top marks in the Swissmedic inspection!

Quality in medical device reprocessing is the foundation for the safety of our patients. We are extremely proud that our expert Reza Rezai (Head of AEMP) reported on the outstanding results of our last Swissmedic inspection in the latest IGWiG podcast.

A model pupil for patient safety

In the discussion with the Swissmedic experts, Reza Rezai was emphasised as a "model pupil" and Bethesda Spital AG as a "prime example" for the entire industry. This accolade is the result of professional expertise, discipline and uncompromising quality standards.

Why we are proud of our processes:

  • Zero critical deviations: Thanks to meticulous preparation and internal audits in accordance with Swissmedic specifications.
  • Structural independence: Cooperation between the OR and AEMP on an equal footing, creating clear responsibilities.
  • Management support: Quality is a top priority for us - the hospital management fully supports the high standards of our reprocessing.


Sharing knowledge for the industry

It is very important to us that other healthcare facilities can benefit from our experience. The transparency and professionalism that Reza demonstrates in the podcast reflects the values that we live by every day at Bethesda Hospital.

A big thank you to Reza Rezai and his entire team for this great success and their daily commitment to the highest medical quality!

Titular professorship for PD Dr Christopher Böhlke - an extraordinary milestone

PD Dr Christopher Böhlke, senior physician at Bethesda Hospital's Palliative Care Centre, has been appointed titular professor by the University of Basel's Faculty of Medicine.
This honour is a significant milestone - particularly in palliative care, where professorships are rare. It is all the more remarkable that this appointment was made at a peripheral hospital.

With Prof Dr Jan Gärtner and Prof Dr Christopher Böhlke, two professors of palliative care are working at the same hospital - a unique constellation in Switzerland. Both also work together in a growing team in the Palliative Care Research Group at the Department of Clinical Research and co-operate closely with the Swiss Go Trial Group in conducting clinical trials at the University Hospital Basel.

We warmly congratulate Prof Böhlke on this special recognition of his many years of commitment to medicine, research and teaching.
