Augusta

What Augusta does

Augusta Kliniken is a dual-site acute-care hospital network in Germany's Ruhr region, operating Augusta-Kranken-Anstalt in Bochum-Mitte (567 beds, founded 1864) and Evangelisches Krankenhaus in Hattingen (294 beds, founded 1901) for a combined 861 beds and approximately 36,000+ inpatients treated annually. The organization is owned by the Evangelische Stiftung Augusta (a nonprofit foundation) and operates as part of the EVA Ruhr network of Protestant hospitals. Its service portfolio spans 22+ specialties across both sites, with maximum-care (Maximalversorgung Level II) emergency services, 24/7 emergency departments, and a Level II Notfallversorgung designation at Bochum-Mitte. Technologically, Augusta operates advanced capital equipment including two DaVinci robotic surgery systems, an AquaBeam waterjet ablation system for BPH, five medical lasers, MRI-ultrasound fusion prostate biopsy, ECMO therapy, autofluorescence bronchoscopy, endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS), a hybrid operating theatre, and an in-house cytostatic preparation laboratory producing approximately 27,000 formulations annually.

Differentiated service lines include one of Germany's largest urology departments (4,000+ inpatients, 6,000+ procedures/year), a WHO/UNICEF Babyfreundlich-certified obstetrics department delivering 1,500+ newborns annually, an Ayurvedic-Western integrative neurology department (certified Parkinson's specialty clinic with an international MoU with India's CCRAS/Ministry of AYUSH), a DKG-certified oncological center, a Cardiac Arrest Center with Heart Failure Unit Schwerpunktklinik status, a bronchoscopy reference center, and a 24/7 diagnostic laboratory performing 1.2M analyses/year. Regulatory certifications include DKG cancer center accreditations (oncological, breast, gynecological, prostate, colorectal, pancreatic), certified Endometrioseklinik, certified AltersTraumaZentrum, gold/silver hand hygiene certifications, and Selbsthilfefreundliches Krankenhaus recognition for the 4th time in 2026. Augusta is a teaching hospital (Lehrkrankenhaus) of the University of Duisburg-Essen.

The business model is German DRG (Diagnosis-Related Groups) reimbursement-based: inpatient and outpatient services are billed to statutory health insurance (GKV) and private insurance under the DRG fee schedule, with outpatient services billed per the EBM uniform value scale. The organization goes to market direct-to-patient through emergency rooms, physician referrals, inter-hospital transfers, outpatient clinics, and digital appointment booking, supported by community channels including Instagram, YouTube, in-person health events (Hattinger Gesundheitstag), and self-help group partnerships. Augusta operates as a foundation-owned nonprofit, meaning surpluses are reinvested rather than distributed, and revenue figures are not publicly disclosed.
