In 1893, the Josefinum Clinic was founded by the Jochner family in the center of Munich. Klinikum Josefinum is a non-state medical center. It cooperates with independent specialists working in various fields of medicine and various clinics in Munich.
About the clinic
The clinic has 68 wards equipped with the latest medical and technical technology. The clinic can accommodate 122 patients at a time. The clinic has an outpatient and inpatient department. The attending physician, together with the head of the department, conducts daily rounds to address any problems that arise and to monitor the effectiveness of the treatment.
A special pride of the clinic is the specialized gastroenterology clinic, which has grown to the size of a separate center. About 5000 patients pass through the center every year. The treatment of each patient in this center is approached individually and comprehensively. After examination and obtaining the results of tests, the doctor makes a diagnosis and prescribes the necessary treatment, which specialists monitor throughout the period of observation. The gastroenterology center provides outpatient care and, if necessary, allocates a place in the main building of the clinic.
