Lungenklinik Lostau

What Lungenklinik Lostau does

Lungenklinik Lostau is a supraregional specialty hospital for pulmonary and thoracic medicine located in Lostau, Sachsen-Anhalt, Germany, operating 170 beds across departments covering pneumology, thoracic surgery, thoracic oncology, anesthesiology and intensive care, ventilation and weaning medicine, palliative care, sleep medicine, allergology, radiology, and (since July 2024) bariatric surgery. The clinic's core technology stack centers on minimally invasive thoracic surgery — including uniportal VATS keyhole techniques — supported by an AI-assisted CT scanner (installed April 2026), bronchoscopy and pulmonological endoscopy with jet ventilation, polysomnography workstations, and lung cancer screening with secondary radiological review. As a Deutsche Krebsgesellschaft (DKG)-certified Lung Cancer Center, one of only two in Sachsen-Anhalt and recertified for the 11th consecutive time in December 2025, the clinic runs interdisciplinary tumor boards with thoracic surgeons, pneumologists, oncologists, and radiation therapists, and has performed more than 15,000 lung operations since the Thoracic Surgery department was founded in 1999.

Lungenklinik Lostau generates revenue primarily through the German Diagnosis-Related Groups (DRG) inpatient reimbursement system and ambulatory services billed to statutory (GKV) and private (PKV) health insurers. Supplementary revenue streams include medical education (PJ stipends of €992/month, nursing training, Famulatur placements) and paid patient services such as smoking cessation courses. Patient acquisition is referral-driven: a formal physician referral channel with dedicated bed management (Belegungsmanagement), digital image and report transfer via TKmed®, and inter-hospital transfers through the Universitäres Lungenzentrum Magdeburg. The clinic has been an integral part of Universitätsmedizin Magdeburg A.ö.R. since August 2025, following a 25.5% stake acquisition in April 2024 and successful completion of insolvency/restructuring proceedings initiated in January 2025. The facility is led by Geschäftsführer Thomas Schröder (effective January 2026), Ärztlicher Direktor Dr. med. Frank Heres, and Chefarzt Thoraxchirurgie Prof. Dr. med. Thorsten Walles, and operates as a gGmbH (charitable non-profit limited company) registered in Sachsen-Anhalt.
