LMU Klinikum is the university hospital of Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich. It is one of the largest university hospitals in Germany and in Europe, treating the widest range of conditions and taking on complex, rare and combined cases. Since 2020 it has been called LMU Klinikum (formerly Klinikum der Universität München).
How it is organised
The hospital works on two Munich sites — the Großhadern campus and the city-centre campus (Innenstadt). Together they have around two thousand beds. That scale makes it possible to keep practically every medical speciality within one organisation.
What it specialises in
All the main fields are represented: oncology, cardiology and cardiac surgery, neurology and neurosurgery, gastroenterology, endocrinology, urology, gynaecology, orthopaedics and much else. Complex cases are reviewed by interdisciplinary boards, with specialists from different fields working on one patient.
The hospital is known separately for its transplant programme — heart, lungs, kidneys and pancreas are transplanted here, as is bone marrow. This is one of those fields that need both an experienced team and the whole infrastructure of a large centre.
What sets it apart
As a university hospital, LMU Klinikum combines treatment, teaching and research. For the patient that means access to current methods and protocols, and the possibility of taking part in clinical trials when the standard options have been exhausted. The doctors teach and do research alongside their clinical work.
How we work with this hospital
An AlenMed coordinator stays with the patient from the first enquiry: helping to collect and translate the medical documents — discharge letters, images, histology — sending them to the right department and agreeing the preliminary assessment and cost estimate directly with the hospital. An interpreter is present at appointments. Payment goes directly to the hospital.
