This makes it the largest medical network in Switzerland. With over 9,900 staff and around 2,000 affiliated doctors, the Hirslanden Group offers a comprehen­­sive range of services across all levels of treatment, from basic care through to diagnostics and highly specialised university-level medicine. The Hirslanden Group and its hospitals are on the hospital list of all 11 of their respective cantons, thus playing an important role in the provision of healthcare to the people of Switzerland. The proportion of patients with basic insurance is constantly growing across the Group, and has now reached 45 percent. The quality of medical care, patient satisfaction and the resulting patient benefit are of the utmost importance at Hirslanden. This is why the Hirslanden Private Hospital Group has a highly developed quality management system and has published a quality report every year since 2010. 4 QUALITY QUALITY AT HIRSLANDEN THE HIRSLANDEN PRIVATE HOSPITAL GROUP HAS ACQUIRED LARGE AMOUNTS OF QUALITY DATA FOR OVER TEN YEARS AND PUB- LISHED THIS IN ITS QUALITY REPORT SINCE 2010.

Some of the clinics are small , others are big multidiciplinary Centers. But it tells us something about the special techniques used and the number of clinics using them , and it can help us to see where some of them can be found, and also gives an idea of the effectiveness of the methods.
