Brustzentrum Bethesda Spital erneut als «selbsthilfefreundlich» zertifiziert

Das Basler Brustzentrum am Standort Bethesda Spital wurde erneut als «Selbsthilfefreundlich» ausgezeichnet. Die Jury würdigt insbesondere die nachhaltige und enge Zusammenarbeit zwischen den verantwortlichen Fachpersonen im Brustzentrum und der Selbsthilfegruppe Tavola Rosa.
Der Verein Tavola Rosa wurde im November 2020 für Frauen mit Brustkrebs gegründet. Ziel ist es, Betroffenen einen Austausch ausserhalb des privaten Umfelds zu ermöglichen, die Sichtbarkeit zu erhöhen und das Thema Brustkrebs zu enttabuisieren. Der Verein bietet Hilfe zur Selbsthilfe sowie Informationsvermittlung – von Betroffenen für Betroffene. Der Vorstand arbeitet ehrenamtlich und mit grossem persönlichem Engagement.

Das Projekt «Gesundheitskompetenz dank selbsthilfefreundlichen Spitälern» fördert die Zusammenarbeit zwischen lokalen Selbsthilfegruppen und Spitälern. Durch diese Vernetzung lernen Patient*innen und Angehörige die gemeinschaftliche Selbsthilfe kennen und können sie als Unterstützung in ihrem Umgang mit ihrer Erkrankung nutzen. Der Austausch mit Personen, die unter ähnlichen Problemen leiden, vermittelt ein Gefühl des Verstanden-Werdens. Man hilft sich gegenseitig mit praktischen Tipps und stärkt gemeinsam das Erfahrungswissen.  

Herzliche Gratulation an alle Beteiligten für dieses schöne Zeichen der Anerkennung und das kontinuierliche Engagement für Betroffene!

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.

Five times in a row: Bethesda Hospital remains one of the "World's Best Hospitals" in 2025

Every year, the American news magazine "Newsweek" selects the best hospitals in the world. This year, over 2400 hospitals in 30 countries were assessed - and Bethesda Hospital was once again successfully included.

For the fifth time in a row, Bethesda Hospital has achieved a very good ranking among the top hospitals in Switzerland. As in the previous year, it also achieved an excellent 13th place in 2025. This repeated recognition for 2025 is a great confirmation of our ongoing commitment to healthcare and emphasises the consistently high quality of our work.

The ranking is based on a comprehensive evaluation process, including an online survey of thousands of medical experts, patient experience data and hospital quality metrics.
