Life expectancy is increasing continuously. What we would all like is to stay healthy. Innovative medicine helps us.

Campaign for Vascular International medicine

The objective is the support of future-oriented and patient-safe vascular medicine – through research and teaching, in terms of practice-oriented, high quality and innovative training concepts, by promotion of junior staff and improvement of infrastructure. To train the surgical juniors and experts the foundation operates the VASCULAR INTERNATIONAL School in order to support the safe and efficient open vascular and endovascular patient care.

The patients receive a comprehensible and reliable second opinion within 1 to 3 weeks. The platform is available in english, french and german.
