Klinikum Fürth

What Klinikum Fürth does

Klinikum Fürth is a municipal public hospital (Anstalt des öffentlichen Rechts) owned by the City of Fürth, Germany, and operates as an academic teaching hospital of the University of Erlangen-Nürnberg. Founded in 1931, the institution operates 771 inpatient beds across 20+ clinical departments and treats more than 100,000 patients per year, employing approximately 3,000 staff. Service lines span general and specialized surgery, internal medicine, cardiology, gastroenterology, oncology, obstetrics and gynecology (Frauenklinik Nathanstift), pediatrics, anesthesia and intensive care, palliative care, and emergency services delivered through a 24/7 central emergency department. Outpatient care is delivered through specialist clinics and wholly-owned MVZ (medical care centers) covering radiology, pathology, gynecology, pediatrics, pain therapy, and neurology.

The hospital's technology base centers on advanced clinical equipment rather than proprietary software platforms. Notable capabilities include the Stereotaxis Genesis Robotic Magnetic Navigation System — making Klinikum Fürth the first hospital in Germany to operate a robotic electrophysiology program for cardiac arrhythmia treatment — da Vinci robot-assisted surgery (primarily urological), a comprehensive advanced endoscopy suite (EMR, ESD, ERCP, endoscopic ultrasound, double balloon enteroscopy, capsule endoscopy, hybrid APC), and certified organ cancer centers (breast, colorectal, gynecological, prostate). Multiple external quality certifications (KTQ, audit berufundfamilie, Patient Blood Management) and regional clinical rankings (NN NZ Klinikcheck) provide third-party validation.

The business model is reimbursement-driven under the German DRG (Diagnosis Related Groups) system, with revenue derived from statutory health insurance (GKV) and private health insurance (PKV) payments for inpatient and outpatient care. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is set via negotiated DRG rates and elective services (Wahlleistungen). The go-to-market is referral- and emergency-led: patients access the hospital via general practitioner and specialist referrals, the central emergency department, and direct outpatient appointments. As a public-law institution, Klinikum Fürth is owned by the City of Fürth under supervisory board oversight (chaired by Mayor Dr. Thomas Jung) with Dr. Alexander Mohr as CEO, and is not privately held or publicly traded.
