Klinikum Dritter Orden stands in Munich’s Nymphenburg district, next to the palace of the same name. The hospital was founded in the nineteenth century by a Catholic order, and it remains to this day a hospital with a Christian tradition of care. Since 1979 it has been a teaching hospital of Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich (Akademisches Lehrkrankenhaus) — not the university centre itself, but a hospital where medical students train and the work follows university standards.
What kind of hospital it is
It is a large general hospital of around 570 beds with several main departments and a number of specialist services. It combines emergency care, planned surgery and internal medicine for patients of all ages. In scale it is a district hospital of the highest level rather than a narrow specialist centre.
Main areas
The adult side covers gastroenterology, cardiology, general and vascular surgery, orthopaedics and trauma surgery, ENT, and gynaecology and obstetrics. The maternity unit and cancer care carry particular weight.
The hospital’s strong suit is children’s medicine. There is a clinic for children’s and adolescent medicine with a neonatology and intensive care unit for premature and newborn babies, and paediatric surgery with an emphasis on operations in newborns and minimally invasive procedures. Paediatric neurology is a separate service.
Equipment and particulars
Partner units work on the hospital site — a cardiac catheterisation laboratory, a radiotherapy suite and a diagnostic centre. That makes it possible to examine and treat in one place instead of sending the patient across the city. Psychological support has a notable place in the hospital’s thinking — the work with a patient is not only about the diagnosis.
How we work with this hospital
We help arrange the approach to the hospital: we forward the medical records, agree dates for a consultation or admission, and provide interpreting and support. Settlement is directly with the hospital against its invoices, with no mark-up from us on medical services.
This material is for information only and does not replace a consultation with a doctor. Whether treatment is possible, what it will involve and what it will achieve can be determined only after an examination at the clinic in person.
