Charité – Universitätsmedizin

Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin is one of Europe’s most prominent university hospitals, deeply rooted in its missions of research, education, and patient care. Established in 1710, it evolved into a leading medical institution that now integrates more than 100 departments and institutes across four campuses in Berlin. Its guiding values are captured by its motto: “Researching, Teaching, Healing, Helping.”

The main business of Charité lies in delivering tertiary and quaternary care, including highly specialized medical services. It offers advanced treatment in areas such as oncology, cardiology, neurology, pediatrics, transplant medicine, infectious diseases, and more. Beyond clinical care, Charité is a powerhouse in biomedical research, translating laboratory breakthroughs into innovative therapies through its involvement with the Berlin Institute of Health and other research entities.

Major clients include inpatients and outpatients from Berlin, Germany, and internationally, especially those needing complex, high-expertise medical interventions. On the academic side, Charité serves medical students, doctoral researchers, and faculty from its partner universities. Its impact is enhanced by global research collaborations and training programs.

Charité operates on four campuses: Charité Mitte, Virchow-Klinikum, Benjamin Franklin, and Berlin-Buch. These campuses support a broad network of clinical and research centers, known collectively as the Charité Centers, ensuring interdisciplinary care and academic excellence.
