About the job

Medical Directorate

Employer: Zurich Children’s Hospital

The Zurich Children’s Hospital, with around 3,000 employees, is the largest university children’s hospital in Switzerland and one of the leading centres for paediatrics and adolescent medicine in Europe. The greatest asset of the "Kispi" are the little ones: up to 100,000 patients are cared for annually, and in 47 specialist departments we do everything for their well-being. Not only state-of-the-art equipment and the highest quality in treatment are paramount at Kispi, but also a good sense for interpersonal matters. In addition to the entire spectrum of paediatric and paediatric surgical medicine, the Children’s Hospital also offers a unique rehabilitation centre and a research centre.
