What Rehab Basel does

Rehab Basel (legal entity: REHAB Basel AG) is a Swiss specialized inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation clinic headquartered at Im Burgfelderhof 40, Basel, founded in 1967 as the Schweizerisches Paraplegikerzentrum by Bürgerspital Basel and reorganized into a non-profit Aktiengesellschaft in 1997. The clinic operates exclusively in two medical specialties — neurorehabilitation and paraplegiology — serving patients with acquired brain injuries (stroke, trauma, behavioral disorders, coma), spinal cord injuries (paraplegia, tetraplegia), and chronic neurological conditions such as ALS, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, and CNS tumors.

The clinical product portfolio is anchored on two flagship disciplines (Neurorehabilitation and Paraplegiology) and delivered across three care settings — inpatient treatment, day clinic (Tagesklinik, opened 2019), and outpatient consultations — supplemented by a multidisciplinary therapy stack (physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, neuropsychology, recreational, music, art, animal-assisted therapy, hippotherapy), specialized consultation services (psychological, social, nutritional, legal, pastoral care), and dedicated facilities including a SAP Station for behavioral disorders (2020) and a Post-/Long-COVID outpatient clinic (2021). Post-discharge continuity is provided through the REHAB@home program. Underlying capability rests on a clinician-led model rather than a technology platform: there are no proprietary software products, AI/ML components, APIs, mobile apps, patents, or integrations disclosed.

Rehab Basel generates revenue through healthcare services reimbursed under cantonal service mandates (Leistungsauftrag) from Canton Basel-Stadt and 13 additional Swiss cantons, plus mandatory health insurance and social insurance billing. The clinic is a member of leading specialty societies (SWISS REHA, DMGP, ISCOS, SSoP, SGNR) and collaborates clinically with Universitätsspital Basel. Corporate non-financial support is channeled through the Stiftung pro REHAB Basel foundation and the Förderverein pro REHAB association. There are no external equity investors, no funding rounds, no subsidiaries, no M&A activity, and no public listing.
