Universitätsspital Basel Frauenklinik

As the only university women’s hospital in northwestern Switzerland, University Hospital Basel (Universitätsspital Basel) treats a broad range of gynecological and obstetric conditions, including fertility medicine. The Department of Reproductive Medicine and Gynecological Endocrinology (RME) is housed separately at Vogesenstrasse 134 and forms the focus for patients trying to conceive. The range of services includes elective egg freezing and cryopreservation of eggs, supplemented by psychological support through the Department of Gynecological Psychosocial Medicine under the direction of PD Dr. phil. Corinne Urech. Acupuncture is also offered. The medical director of the RME is Prof. Dr. Frauke von Versen as chief physician, supported by several specialized senior physicians in reproductive medicine and gynecological endocrinology. The women’s hospital as a whole records about 60,000 outpatient consultations, 2,700 births, and 2,000 surgical procedures per year. In concrete terms, the university context means: the clinic is involved in research projects and runs structured continuing education and postgraduate training, including block courses on genetics in gynecology and obstetrics, which can be relevant for patients with reproductive genetics questions. For appointments in reproductive medicine, registration is possible by phone at +41 61 265 93 93 or by email. The women’s hospital’s gynecological and obstetric emergency service is available around the clock every day.
