What Ruesch Clinic does

Ruesch Clinic (legal entity: Casa di Cura C.G. Ruesch S.p.A.) is a private multi-specialty hospital located in the Vomero district of Naples, Italy, founded in 1919 by Swiss industrialist Carlo Giorgio Ruesch to serve workers at his silk factories in Sarno. The facility operates approximately 40 medical and surgical specialties (including urology, ophthalmology, cardiology, gynecology, orthopedics, general surgery, vascular surgery, reconstructive/aesthetic surgery, and andrology) across outpatient consultations, diagnostic imaging, inpatient hospitalizations, home healthcare, and telemedicine services. The clinic is fully private (not affiliated with the Italian National Health Service, SSN) and bills patients through direct payment, major Italian health insurer networks (Previmedical, Generali-Welion, Unisalute, Fasi, BlueAssistance, AXA, Qu.A.S., MetaSalute, Fideuram), and a healthcare financing partnership with Club Medici (Easy Care plans of €500–€20,000 over 12–60 months).

Technically, the clinic operates a Center of Excellence in Robotic Surgery for Urology featuring the Da Vinci XI system for minimally invasive procedures, advanced Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) for ophthalmic diagnostics enabling glaucoma detection up to 8 years earlier than conventional methods, InBody 770 bioimpedance analysis for nutritional assessment, and a 21-day genomic/DNA testing service. Digital infrastructure includes the proprietary MyRuesch mobile application (iOS/Android, launched 2025) for appointment booking, medical record access, and telemedicine consultations, plus a separate online patient portal (Referti Web). The clinic is independently operated as a family-controlled Italian S.p.A. with a registered share capital of €300,000, led by President Dr. Antonio Merlino and Director General Francesco Merlino.
