Femedica

What Femedica does

Femedica is a privately held Swiss network of women's healthcare practices ("Zentrum für Frauenmedizin") operating gynecology and obstetrics clinics in Canton Zurich. Founded in 2007 when Dr. med. Claude-Noël Strub took over an established Winterthur practice, the entity was rebranded as Femedica Theaterstrasse AG in 2022 alongside the launch of a second location, Femedica Uster AG. As of late 2025 the network operates two clinics — at Theaterstrasse 1 in Winterthur and Loren-Allee 20 in Uster (relocated January 2025) — and has committed to a third location, Femedica Stettbach, at Zürichstrasse 137 in Dübendorf opening in February 2027. The clinical roster covers roughly ten to eleven gynecology and obstetrics specialists across the two sites, with admitting privileges (Belegarztrecht) at Privatklinik Lindberg, Kantonsspital Winterthur, and Spital Uster enabling inpatient deliveries and surgical procedures alongside outpatient consultations.

The service portfolio spans the full female life cycle: adolescent first-visit consultations (Teenager-Sprechstunde), annual preventive examinations, contraception (including all IUD types), menstrual and infectious disease management, pregnancy monitoring with color Doppler and 3D/4D ultrasound, prenatal diagnostics, delivery planning, postpartum and pelvic floor care, menopause management, and operative gynecology including breast procedures. A telemedicine video consultation service provides remote consultations for initial assessments, results discussions, contraception questions, and follow-ups. Underlying technology is conventional clinical equipment rather than proprietary platforms; differentiating tools are the online appointment booking system, the physician referral portal (Zuweiser), and the telemedicine infrastructure.

Femedica generates revenue on a fee-for-service basis under the Swiss TARMED tariff, billed through statutory basic health insurance (obligatorische Krankenpflegeversicherung) and supplementary insurance. The go-to-market model is direct-to-consumer, with patient acquisition driven by the practice website, online booking, organic/reputation channels, and physician referrals. Surgical revenue is captured via Belegarztrecht partnerships with three hospitals. The ownership structure is physician-led, with Dr. Strub as Mitinhaber of Femedica Theaterstrasse AG, Dr. Alexandra Kern as Medical Site Leader of Femedica Uster AG, and Christoph Lutz as Geschäftsführer (Managing Director) of the overall network; no external private equity, venture capital, or parent company is indicated in the source material.

Direct peers

• Medbase: One of Switzerland's largest outpatient medical networks with integrated physician practices including OB/GYN. Comparable Swiss multi-site practice network targeting ambulatory primary and specialty care.
• Vista Klinik: Swiss specialty clinic network operating multi-site ambulatory services including women's health. Comparable Swiss specialty outpatient clinic group serving similar self-pay and insured patient segments.
• Pallas Kliniken: Swiss group of women's health-specialized outpatient clinics offering gynecology, obstetrics, and aesthetic services across multiple sites. Highly comparable multi-site, women-focused outpatient model in the same Swiss market.

Broad incumbents

• Lindenhofgruppe: Bern-based private hospital group with comprehensive women's health, obstetrics, and gynecology services. Comparable Swiss private women's health provider, though operating in a different German-speaking catchment.
• Spital Zollikerberg: Zurich-area hospital with a dedicated Frauenklinik offering obstetrics, gynecology, and breast surgery. Comparable Swiss women's health service line and a regional incumbent in the same Canton of Zurich catchment.
• Hirslanden: Switzerland's largest private hospital group with affiliated OB/GYN specialists and maternity services. Operates broadly in the same clinical space and is a hospital-partner competitor to Femedica's Belegarzt model.
• Privatklinik Lindberg: Winterthur private clinic where Femedica physicians hold admitting privileges for surgical procedures. Overlapping patient base and women's health service lines in the immediate Winterthur geography.

Emerging players

• The Portland Hospital: UK-based private women's and maternity hospital. Comparable model of a dedicated women's health specialty provider, though operating in a different regulatory and reimbursement environment.

Others

• Swissmom: Swiss pregnancy and maternity information platform already partnered with Femedica for patient referrals. Not a direct competitor but a comparable Switzerland-focused women's/maternal health ecosystem player.

Regional players

• Monvia Gesundheitszentrum: Swiss primary care medical center group with OB/GYN coverage across multiple German-speaking cantons. Comparable Swiss outpatient group practice model but with primary-care rather than women's-health focus.
