A sick person should be able to enjoy the best of everything: first-class treatment, sensitive care and surroundings in which the patient feels comfortable and safe. Bavaria is recognized worldwide as a location for health and rehabilitation as well as for well-being and tourism. Here, patients and guests find all the advantages in an almost unheard-of abundance.
Bavaria captures a leading position in health research and medical technology.
The Bavarian State Government intensively involves itself in the location's health attributes by promoting research and the
integration of science and clinical practice. At Bavarian university hospitals, the latest findings are directly incorporated into
the treatment methods e.g. in the area of magnetic research imaging procedures, minimum invasive surgery as well as computer-supported
diagnostic investigation and therapy.
The hospitals also cooperate closely with the pharmaceutical companies and medical technology manufacturers of which there are around
250 in Bavaria. This is how they ensure that the latest knowledge and technical innovations immediately benefit the patients.
The quality of the Bavarian health services sets worldwide standards.
With their services, Bavarian hospitals provide top service in comparison to the rest of the world in cardiology, cardiac surgery, orthopaedics and child oncology to name just a few. The excellently structured range of rehabilitation measures are diversified, highly specialized, of outstanding quality and are rarely found anywhere else. The "gentle medicine" facilities are also unique: body and soul can be cared for and pampered in around 50 outstanding health spa and rehabilitation centres.
Bavaria offers a climate for feeling good and getting healthy.
Mountainous areas with pure air, deep, clear lakes, blooming landscapes and a pleasant climate: you can breathe deeply, relax and get well with feeling rushed in Bavaria's world-famous recreational regions. Tradition is alive and history is tangible in Bavaria. Historical city centres, opera houses, theatres and world-class museums, recreational attractions for the whole family and chic shopping districts also offer patients' relatives new experiences every day.
We cure and care. With this promise and our full conviction, we welcome patients from around the world to Bavaria as our guests.
Yours sincerely,
| Horst Seehofer | Dr. Markus Söder |
| Premier of Bavaria | Bavarian State Ministry of the Environment and Public Health |
