Give birth naturally with individual care

We offer you holistic care and the highest possible self-determination from the positive pregnancy test to the postpartum period. Our team:

  • Supports a natural and gentle birth whenever possible. Use of technology only when medically necessary.
  • respects the woman’s/couple’s right to make informed choices and share decisions (different birth positions, water birth).
  • cares for the expectant parents individually and holistically (during pregnancy, during childbirth, in the postpartum period).
  • ensures optimum support and promotion of the mother-child relationship (rooming-in).

Regularly awarded specialist clinic

The Department of Obstetrics at the USZ was recognized as the best specialist clinic in Switzerland by the “Handelszeitung” in collaboration with the market research company Statista and regularly occupies top positions in national comparisons. The positive reviews from medical experts in particular underline the clinic’s high reputation throughout Switzerland. The clinic’s new premises are also making an impact: the equipment in the birthing rooms scores highly as a “standout treatment”.

Voices from parents

  • Isabel K.

    The care provided at the USZ Campus Obstetrics Clinic was not only professional but also warm and empathetic. From the doctors to the nursing staff to the hotel staff, the employees were committed, friendly and helpful. I felt very well looked after at all times and enjoyed the beautiful location with the unique view of the city and the lake every day anew.
  • Julia H.

    I can only warmly recommend the University Hospital! From the prenatal care to the birth itself, the care was simply exceptional!
  • Marisa N.

    Many thanks to everyone who looked after us so sensitively and professionally! We felt very comfortable from the first telephone contact until we left!
