Krankenhaus Waldfriede is a confessional, academic, acute care, teaching hospital of the Charité University Medicine Berlin, and a European training center for surgical techniques in proctology. Krankenhaus Waldfriede belongs to the International Church of the Seventh-day Adventists, which is running more than 470 medical institutions world-wide. Since its establishment in 1920, Krankenhaus Waldfriede has oriented its medical care towards comprehensive preventive and treatment concepts for integral medicine. Long before the lawmakers changed structures within the public health sector, the hospital, along with a network of facilities, has turned into a health and wellness promoting organization, including a home care service, two short-term care facilities, a nursing school, a “safe haven” project (Baby Hatch) for mothers in need, a day care facility for children including a family center and a public swimming pool. In 1993, the Center for Health Promotion PrimaVita, with its emphasis on preventive medicine and health promotion, was established – the first of its kind in Germany. Krankenhaus Waldfriede does not only offer medical care for the local community, but for years now, it has also treated national and international patients along with the staff and families of various embassies. 22 MEDICAL CHECK UP KRANKENHAUS WALDFRIEDE SNAPSHOT The coordination and medical care of the “International Medical Services” as well as the cooperation on an international level (World Health Organization WHO, Florida Hospital Adventist Health System in Orlando, Florida, USA, Foreign Patient Network NBMC in Berlin) ensure expedient, culturally sensitive and adequate assistance. (www.waldfriede.de) You can find more information about our hospital on our homepage under www.waldfriede.de or call me personally. Krankenhaus Waldfriede is the first hospital in the world that offers care for FGM victims by following a holistic treatment concept. In September, 2013, the Desert Flower Center Waldfriede was founded. It offers medical and psycho-social care. The financial funding of the center is organized — among others — by the Förderverein Krankenhaus Waldfriede e.V. With its financial involvement it ensures that the full scale of medical services can be guaranteed also for people in need in the area Steglitz-Zehlendorf. We are always willing to answer your questions and are appreciating suggestions and critical input.
