The Inselspital, also named the University Hospital of Bern (German: Universitätsspital Bern), located in Bern, [1] is one of the five university hospitals of Switzerland. [2] It is associated with the University of Bern.
The hospital is operated by a charitable foundation established in 1354 through the will of Anna Seiler, a wealthy Bernese. [3] It acquired its current name in 1531 when it occupied the buildings of the "St. Michaels Insel" convent. [4] From 1841 on, it has participated in the training of medical students. [5]
The hospital moved to its present location in 1885. [6] [7] Many of the historic buildings were demolished from 1958 to 1978 and replaced by modern infrastructure, including a high-rise patient building.
As of 2016, the hospital employs a staff of 7,255 and provides care for 250,000 patients each year. It also provides practical training to 600 medical students and over 1,000 other healthcare professionals. [8] [9] [10]
The prominent physicians who have practiced in the Inselspital include Emil Theodor Kocher, the 1909 Nobel laureate. [11]
