We specialize in outpatient and inpatient evaluation and treatment of patients with all types of lung diseases and respiratory disorders. In addition, we are committed to the education and training of students and physicians. Our locations are at the Campus and at Zurich Airport in the Circle.
The USZ Airport Outpatient Health Center is located in the new “Circle” quarter at Zurich Airport. We offer our patients university expertise and the latest high-tech medical equipment in a highly accessible location.
The Department of Pulmonology offers cadre consultations for general pulmonology at the USZ Airport site 3.5 days per week. Our Attending Physicians are available for you at the airport on Monday mornings, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays.
The entire spectrum of acute and chronic diseases of the lungs and respiratory tract are competently diagnosed and treated. Smoking-related lung diseases (COPD, emphysema) as well as bronchial asthma are among the most common diseases.
We also offer our patients a special consultation for post-COVID-19 at the USZ Airport. Some affected individuals recover very slowly after COVID-19 infection and present persistent symptoms. Our goal is to examine these patients in the best possible way and to help them overcome the symptoms of the disease as quickly as possible. The consultation is not intended for patients with an acute infection. Affected individuals with an acute infection should contact their primary care physician or the emergency department.
We perform specialized tests in the pulmonary function laboratory. Thus, we evaluate breathing mechanics, gas exchange, and physical performance.
