Hospitals

Aside from fulfilling its teaching and research roles, the Medical University is the founding body of four health care institutes, including two clinical hospitals: the Academic Clinical Center – the MUG Hospital and the Academic Maritime and Tropical Medicine Center. Their key significance for the health care system is reflected by the number of hospitalized patients (almost 60,000), outpatient visits (over 250,000), surgery procedures (over 21,000, including about 1,500 open-heart surgeries) and laboratory tests (over 2 million a year).

The clinical hospitals are highly-specialized reference institutions. They offer unique medical treatments unavailable anywhere else in Northern Poland, such as: organ transplants (kidneys, bone marrow and heart), radiotherapy and oncological chemotherapy, child and adult hematology, invasive cardiology and electro-cardiology, organ surgery, hyperbaric medicine, tropical and nuclear medicine. The highly qualified staff and state-of-the-art medical and diagnostic equipment, including rectangular hyperbaric capsule, magnetic resonance and computer CAT scans, provide a high standard of medical service.

The Medical University of Gdańsk and its hospitals operate locally, as well as outside the region. As a result, they cater for the health and security of around 3.5 million Poles. We are convinced that the modernization of the Academic Clinical Centre initiated in the year 2007, will not only constitute the foundations for greater development of our clinical hospital, but above all, it will contribute to the improvement in the health and security of Pomeranians and guests to our region.

The medical service of the health care institutes is entirely supervised by the Clinical and Postgraduate Education Training Department under the Vice-Rector for Clinical Affairs.
