The Anaesthesiology Service is a transversal service of the HUG at the heart of the technical platform. With its 7 medical units and a research and innovation unit, its mission is to ensure patient comfort and safety during therapeutic or diagnostic procedures, medical or surgical, as well as during post-interventional care, while ensuring effective pain management.

The largest centre in Switzerland in terms of the number of interventional procedures performed annually, the Anaesthesiology Service is at the forefront of advances in this field. The service also provides pre- and post-graduate teaching and continuous training for nursing staff and specialist trainee doctors. As a service provider, anaesthesiology also intervenes in the field of interventional pain management and in life-threatening emergency situations both intra-hospital and pre-hospital alongside the Emergency Service.
