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.
The "Day of the Sick" has a firm place in Switzerland's annual calendar and will take place for the 86th time this year on 2 March. Numerous organisations take part with visits, gifts and events to support sick people and those in need of care.
Bethesda Hospital is also setting an example of solidarity: our patients receive a sweet surprise and we invite them to an ecumenical church service. This will be broadcast via livestream at bethesda-spital.ch/gottesdienst.

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.
