AUVA Unfallkrankenhaus Linz

What AUVA Unfallkrankenhaus Linz does

AUVA Unfallkrankenhaus Linz (UKH Linz) is a public acute care trauma hospital located at Garnisonstraße 7, Linz, Upper Austria, operating as one of seven accident hospitals under the Allgemeine Unfallversicherungsanstalt (AUVA), Austria's statutory accident insurance institution established in 1887. The hospital provides 24/7 emergency trauma care, inpatient treatment across 147 beds, specialty outpatient clinics (Hand/Microsurgery, Knee, Shoulder, Elbow, Foot, Wound, Preoperative Anesthesia), and follow-up rehabilitation services including physiotherapy and ergotherapy. Its clinical core covers orthopedics and traumatology, anesthesiology and intensive care, and internal medicine, supported by in-house diagnostic imaging (X-ray, CT, MRI), laboratory, dietetics, and a pain clinic. A Zahnärztliches Notdienstzentrum (dental emergency service) operated by the Upper Austrian Dental Association is co-located within the facility.

UKH Linz treats approximately 54,000 patients annually, including 5,726 inpatients, supported by a workforce of 584 employees including emergency physicians who participate in rescue operations including flight rescue. The facility features a Schockraum (shock room) for life-threatening injuries and conducts all diagnostic imaging in-house. A 2024 OP-Kooperation with Kepler Universitätsklinikum (KUK) enables shared operating room capacity to reduce waiting times for planned orthopedic procedures across Upper Austria.

UKH Linz operates as a Körperschaft öffentlichen Rechts (public corporation) under the Austrian social insurance system, with revenue derived almost entirely from statutory accident insurance reimbursements via AUVA, supplemented by minimal patient contribution fees (€13.42/day, rising to €14.15 in 2026) regulated by Upper Austrian state ordinance. The facility does not pursue private healthcare revenue as a primary model, though enhanced accommodation services are available for privately insured patients. Patients access services through emergency walk-ins, GP referrals, occupational health referrals, or scheduled follow-up appointments.
