We are here for you
Give birth naturally with individual care
From the positive pregnancy test to the postpartum period, we offer you holistic care and the greatest possible self-determination. 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 optimal support or promotion of the mother-child relationship (rooming-in).
Best specialist clinic in Switzerland 2024
The USZ Obstetrics Clinic was evaluated for the first time this year by the “Handelszeitung” in collaboration with the German market research company Statista and immediately took the top spot at this premiere – well ahead of the competition. The fact that medical experts gave very good ratings in the online survey underlines 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

“I would like to thank the doctors, midwives and nursing staff from the bottom of my heart for their professional and caring advice and support – I and my baby were in the best of hands from the preliminary discussions to the birth and aftercare!”
“Super competent and friendly team, and modern technical equipment. We felt completely at ease during the birth of our daughter.”
