4 reinhold Mitterlehner Federal Minister of Economy, Family and Youth Health - A Future Megatrend healthcare is an issue of ever-increasing importance to society. demographic changes, progress in medical technology and debates about the economic viability of the public health service ensure that healthcare is always a topical subject in austria. patients are increasingly thought of as clients or customers and, in addition to a public health service which is almost exclusively funded through social contributions, a multifaceted healthcare market has now been established. experts predict that the healthcare sector is one of the few markets which will see above-average growth rates in both the medium and long term. austria is in an excellent position to benefit from this future megatrend. Quality assurance in our healthcare system, combined with state-of-the-art medical services and facilities, has ensured that our health service enjoys an excellent reputation worldwide. foreign visitors travel to austria specifically to receive treatment here. demand for our services in the fields of fitness, wellness and rehabilitation is constantly increasing. health tourism is booming and is boosting austria s traditional strength as a tourist destination. thanks to numerous innovative businesses offering high-quality services, our healthcare industry has become an internationally respected brand. this industry brochure offers a good overview of the top providers of healthcare services in austria. i hope that you will find it an informative and stimulating read. 4 SE/2011

5 Alois stöger Federal Minister of Health Healthcare Services Held in International Esteem the philosopher arthur Schopenhauer once said that there are one thousand different illnesses but only one state of good health. in this context it is easy to see why, when it comes to our health, we all want the very best. austria is recognised internationally not only for its diverse culture and spectacular scenery, but equally for its outstanding range of medical services and first-class healthcare provision. each year, over 30 million people visit austria. they come for its temperate climate, crystal-clear rivers and lakes - in almost all of which the water is of drinking quality -, its political and economic stability, and the famous warmth and hospitality of its people. all this makes austria the perfect environment in which to combine medical treatment with a relaxing holiday. furthermore, austria, which has centuries of accumulated experience in the field of medicine, has emerged as one of the world s leading suppliers in the healthcare sector. the austrian medical sector is known for its extraordinarily high quality standards. State-of-the-art technology is not an added bonus here, but a fundamental principle. austria s highcalibre medical professionals are also testament to the fact that austria is home to an internationally respected medical education system and some of the world s finest medical schools. healthcare services in austria are characterised by years of experience and an ongoing commitment to expanding knowledge. a stay in one of the many hospitals, spas, wellness centres and rehabilitation centres in austria is guaranteed to impress.

6 Christoph Leitl President of Austrian Federal Economic Chamber Medical Know-How from Austria is the Route to Success austria is one of the world s leading trading nations. but austria does not trade solely in goods. it is also very active in the export of services. indeed, austria is ranked sixth in the world in terms of per capita exports of services. naturally this includes medical services and hospitals, clinics, rehabilitation centres and health resorts frequented by patients from all over the world. austria s hospitals and healthcare facilities are perfectly equipped for international patients - they can accommodate cultural differences and special requirements and are even able to offer infrastructure facilities for friends and relatives of a standard which is unparalleled worldwide. the austrian healthcare sector has been experiencing a boom in recent years, not least because our health and medical companies are among the best in the world. highly specialised doctors, hospitals and healthcare facilities are complemented by decades of outstanding achievements in medicine, ranging from transplant surgery and cancer research to sports medicine and rehabilitation science. these achievements not only attract the interest of the international scientific community, but also encourage major international research organisations to use austria as their base. medical tourism is a very promising industry sector in austria as it is currently seeing annual growth of around six per cent. last year alone, some four million patients worldwide travelled abroad to be treated in a specialist clinic or hospital. these statistics serve to highlight how important health tourism has become as an economic factor, and that austria will continue to play a leading role in the export of healthcare services in the future. We want to make this a reality, and with the support of the go-international funding programme (an initiative of the austrian federal ministry of the economy, family and youth in conjunction with the austrian federal economic chamber) we aim to better meet our clients needs and proactively take our medical expertise and services into the wider world. We hope that this special edition of austria export will give you a comprehensive overview of the impressive range of services offered by austrian healthcare providers. 6 SE/2011

7 Walter Koren Head of ADvAntAgE AustriA Achieving and Maintaining Good Health austria is home to one of the world s finest healthcare systems. austrians enjoy an excellent standard of care, and foreigners from around the world have been travelling to austria for many years to access advanced medical treatments and services. austria has a very long tradition of medical excellence which dates back to the time of empress maria theresa and her personal physician gerard van Swieten. this continued throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, with pioneering medical scientists and practitioners such as theodor billroth, ernst fuchs, ignaz Semmelweis, Karl landsteiner and Karl fellinger, the doctor of kings. austria is still considered a centre of medical excellence. austrian transplant surgery, for example, is internationally renowned, and there are numerous other fields in which austrian medicine leads the world, ranging from ophthalmology to oncology. as well as developing new medical procedures, austria also invests heavily in research. doctors and medical scientists from around the world appreciate austria s excellent research environment, which is a hotbed of remarkable developments not only in medicine but also in the related fields of medical technology, chemistry, biochemistry and pharmaceuticals. it is hardly surprising, therefore, that these sectors of austrian industry are currently witnessing some of the highest export growth. but whilst the austrian healthcare industry is keen to export its medical expertise, it has also worked hard for many years to encourage international patients to take up the treatments and services available in the wellness sector. today austria is home to over 900 wellness establishments, including over 100 private spas and rehabilitation facilities. austria s world-class medical services can meet every patient s specific needs and offer suitable treatment options for almost every conceivable health problem. this brief guide cannot possibly reflect the sheer variety of austrian healthcare providers. nevertheless, we hope that this special edition of austria export will give you an overview of the best austrian suppliers. We invite you to browse the impressive range of services offered by austria s top healthcare providers and use them to help conserve and protect the most precious commodity of all - your health. SE/

8 A Treatment for Every Condition austria is home to one of the world s best healthcare services. the country enjoys a long tradition of pioneering achievements in medicine as well as in fundamental research. austria is also at the forefront of developing advanced treatments which speed up the recovery process, as well as comprehensive wellbeing and fitness programmes where the emphasis is on preventing the onset of health problems. Medical tourists are flocking to austria in ever greater numbers to take advantage of the country s advanced medical facilities. many patients wish to remain anonymous and will often check into a hotel under an assumed name. the principle of doctor-patient confidentiality is sacred in austria. it helps to further safeguard anonymity and is especially important for celebrities and high-profile personalities. Sometimes, however, it is impossible to completely evade the public eye, as in the case of politicians. it was widely publicised, for example, that viktor yushchenko, the future president of ukraine, was treated at the rudolfinerhaus clinic in vienna after falling victim to poisoning. prince ernst august of hanover made no secret of the fact that he underwent surgery at Schenk Sanatorium in Schruns, vorarlberg, in 2009 to repair damage to a knee ligament following a fall. LK Amstetten standing on the shoulders of giants - Austria has been at the forefront of medicine for over a century. 8 SE/2011

9 salzburger Landesklinik salzburg Federal Hospital is one of the best hospitals in the salzburg region and is becoming increasingly popular with international patients. film star John malkovich, on the other hand, attracted quite unwanted publicity a few months ago after approaching a plastic surgeon based in graz. the surgeon had himself become famous after performing a knee cartilage transplant for roy horn of the duo Siegfried and roy, which is how malkovich had first come to hear of him. this demonstrates the excellent reputation enjoyed by the austrian medical community worldwide. despite concerns about healthcare funding in austria, the country boasts several centres of excellence for medicine and research, in particular the university teaching hospitals of vienna, graz, Salzburg and innsbruck, as well as a number of private clinics such as the rudolfinerhaus. innsbruck, like vienna, has welcomed many famous patients. Several high-profile personalities have been treated in hospitals here; they include former czech president vaclav havel, former Slovak president rudolf Schuster, and greek shipping tycoon Stavros niarchos. today, austria is a world leader in transplant surgery. the world s first kidney transplant was performed in vienna in 1965, followed seven years later by the world s first liver transplant. Surgeon raimund margreiter performed austria s first heart transplant operation in innsbruck in 1983, and in the same year carried out the world s first combined liver and kidney transplant. in 1989, the world s first multivisceral transplantation (liver, stomach, pancreas, and small inte- SE/

10 stine) was performed in innsbruck. in 2000, surgeons at the university hospital innsbruck made headlines around the world when they performed a double hand transplant on a man who had lost both hands in a letter bomb explosion. ernst Wolner, one of the world s best-known heart surgeons, was until recently based at the medical university of vienna. yet even disregarding these spectacular achievements in surgery, major advances in medicine have been and continue to be made in austria. these include the development ten years ago of a retinal transplant procedure at the rudolfstiftung hospital in vienna, as well as therapeutic radiology techniques pioneered by the innsbruck university hospital, which has an international reputation for excellence in this field. at vienna general hospital (akh Wien), Wolfgang gstöttner is a world-famous expert on cochlear implants. these are just a few examples. it is impossible within the scope of this short guide to list all the world-class austrian medical experts for each discipline. the enormous achievements of austria s leading medical professionals have their roots deep in the past. the Second vienna School of medicine was established following the revolution of 1848 and the subsequent relaxation of laws governing study at university. its founders included carl freiherr von rokitansky, an experimental pathologist, and dermatologist ferdinand ritter von hebra. the school produced luminaries such as ignaz philipp Semmelweis, who discovered the aetiology of puerperal fever, and theodor billroth, a world-famous surgeon. the foundation of the vienna general polyclinic enabled doctors to specialise even further. this resulted in the founding of the world s first opthalmology and otology institutes. adolf lorenz was the father of modern orthopaedics, and ernst fuchs revolutionised ophthalmology. in the first half of the 20th century, no fewer than three nobel prizes were awarded to austrian physicians for pioneering work in medicine: Julius Wagner-Jauregg was honoured for his discovery of the therapeutic value of malaria inoculation in the treatment of dementia paralytica, Karl landsteiner received the prize for his discovery of human blood groups and robert bárány was commended for his work on the physiology and pathology of the vestibular apparatus of the ear. the medical school was somewhat reduced in size after the Second World War but continued under the auspices of Karl fellinger, who was a university professor there from 1945 onwards and was considered a doyen of clinical medicine. fellinger was known affectionately as the doctor of kings, and his illustrious patients included King abd alaziz of Saudi arabia, the Shah of persia, King Zahir Shah of afghanistan, King hassan ii of morocco, the president of Sierra leone, Siaka Stevens; and the ecumenical patriarch athenagoras i of constantinople. this spirit of research continues to this day, and teaching, research and medical practice are inextricably linked at the austrian university hospitals, where new advances in medicine are being made all the time. to cite just a few examples of recent medical milestones: two years ago, researchers in innsbruck identified the cause of a rare inherited disease of the retina and inner ear, a discovery which lead to develop- the state Hospital Operating Association (KABEg) hospitals in Carinthia offer the highest standards of medical care based on the latest research.

11 rudolfinerhaus Bust of the world-famous surgeon theodor Billroth in front of the rudolfinerhaus clinic which is regarded as one of the world s best private hospitals. ment of a treatment for the condition; then, in 2009, the prestigious magazine cancerworld published an article about the work of the austrian breast & colorectal cancer Study group (abcsg) which described the world-class research emerging from a country of just eight million. the medical university of vienna recently reported the initial findings of research carried out using its brand new 7-tesla mri scanner, the only machine of its kind in austria. in vienna, the medical university and the vienna general hospital have established the first reference centre for all types of cancer (comprehensive cancer center, ccc), which offers teaching, research and treatment facilities. this project is modelled on the national cancer institute in the us. there are endless examples of austrian medical excellence which, taken as a whole, demonstrate the impressive capabilities of the austrian medical profession and its institutions. extraordinarily high standards of healthcare are seen both in state and social-insurance funded hospitals, as well as in private clinics (including over 30 hospitals run by holy orders). Some of these private hospitals are dedicated to a particular field of medicine (e.g. plastic surgery or vascular surgery) and are therefore able to offer the same specialised range of services that one would expect from a medical day-care unit. on the other hand, larger private hospitals, such as the döbling private clinic in vienna, offer the full spectrum of diagnostic services and treatments. this 160-bed hospital is a so-called belegspital which means it is possible for patients to be admitted and cared for by a doctor of their choice who is not attached to that particular hospital. the döbling clinic has four state-of-the art operating theatres. at the same time, the hospital has its own SE/

12 team of medical doctors, who are available for patients 24 hours a day, and has a fully-equipped out-patient clinic. it also has departments for diagnostic imaging, radiology, laboratory analysis, surgery, internal medicine, gynaecology and obstetrics, nuclear medicine and isotopic diagnostics, as well as an electroencephalography laboratory. it goes without saying that austrian medical services also extend to rehabilitation following surgery or treatment for acute conditions. there are a large number of clinics offering rehabilitation services, also open to private patients, and usually specialising in a specific area of rehabilitation. there is a higher concentration of such clinics in eastern austria, so in recent years there has been a drive to build more rehabilitation centres in the west of the country. most recently, a rehab clinic was opened in Schruns in the federal State of vorarlberg, the first such clinic of its kind in the region. in Kitzbühel in tirol, construction is under way on a new rehabilitation clinic which should open its doors in it will have over 120 beds, of which 50 will be dedicated to orthopaedic rehabilitation and 70 to trauma and neurological-surgery rehabilitation. in modern purpose-built rehabilitation centres, the emphasis is on creating comfortable surroundings, so the facilities often bear more similarity to hotels than hospitals. the gross gerungs heart and circulation centre in lower austria is a typical example of this. the clinic, which specialises in the rehabilitation of cardiac patients, offers the 24- hour care and state-of-the art diagnostic and treatment facilities one would expect, but crucially it also offers patients a live-in option, which means a friend or relative may accompany them throughout the entirety of their stay. this person is then fully integrated into the personalised treat- Fotolia Moorbad neydharting Kärnten tourismus Pristine nature: in addition to medical services, numerous scenic highlights also provide lasting relaxation.

13 the gross gerungs Heart and Circulation Centre allows friends or relatives to live in with the patient. groß gerungs ment and lifestyle -programme designed for the patient once they leave the centre. naturally, acute hospitals generally offer advice on selecting the right rehabilitation clinic too, and can also arrange referrals. there is, in addition, a growing trend for building combined rehabilitation centres and general health hotels. the most recent project of this type is currently being undertaken in the picturesque region of burgenland, austria s easternmost state. in the west of the country, vorarlberg s first neurological rehabilitation centre is being built in Kittsee, and it will be accompanied by a 100-bed hotel. for more general rest and recovery or for the prevention of serious conditions, austria offers a comprehensive range of wellness programmes. a wide variety of enterprises - from wellness hotels in the tyrolean mountains to spa resorts in burgenland, Styria and lower austria - offer customised health and fitness regimes. they offer a broad range of health programmes and therapies such as physiotherapy. Wellness programmes very often include relaxing massage as well as cosmetic and beauty treatments, since it is wellknown that being good to yourself is therapeutic in itself. one need look no further than austria to find a huge variety of relaxation and wellness services. after all, ensuring that mind, body and spirit are in harmony is the best way to safeguard your health. Kärnten tourismus recreation meets high culture: Austria not only provides medical top-performances. its wide range of cultural offerings, rich history and varied shopping opportunities are internationally esteemed touristic highlights.

14 state-of-the-art technology approved competence Education of implantology professionals Competence center for oral implantology oral implantology has become a very complex issue. the need for expert knowledge and cooperation with colleagues all over the world is evident. in 2004 this perception led four internationally renowned professors to found a centre of excellence with a focus on the continuing education of implantology professionals. future trends and state-of-theart technology in this field are integral parts of the daily business at this institution. the worldwide recognition of this institution can be attributed to the following facts: the highly sophisticated approach of providing implants with provisional crowns immediately after surgery, which can be performed with or without general anesthesia. this technology enables patients to leave the clinic with a healthy smile on the same day. the ability to insert oral implants also in anatomical difficult situations with or without augmentation procedures. approved competence based on several thousands inserted dental implants and decades of experience in this field. intensive personal and of course multilingual assistance during your stay at the clinic in order to meet special and individual requirements.
