Certified breast centre
Our breast centre has been certified by the German Cancer Society and the German Society for Senology since 2003.

Comprehensive personal care based on the latest scientific knowledge is at the centre of our work.
Certified Gynaecological Tumour Centre
Of particular importance for the quality of medical care is the regular external inspection and certification of our Gynaecological Tumour Centre by the German Cancer Society. Due to this high quality and extensive experience, we were certified in 2008 as one of the first gynaecological tumour centres in Germany.
Certified endometriosis centre
Our endometriosis centre has been certified as a clinical endometriosis centre (level II) by the Endometriosis Research Foundation (SEF) since 2014. The award demonstrates a high level of quality in the diagnosis and treatment of endometriosis.

Since 2015, our centre has been certified according to the criteria of the German Society for Gynaecology and Obstetrics, the German Society for Urology, the German Society for General and Visceral Surgery and the German Society for Coloproctology. The interdisciplinary centre pools the specialist knowledge of the experts and thus creates optimal medical care.
Perinatal centre - level 1
Together with the neonatology section of the paediatric clinic, we form a perinatal centre of the highest care level (level 1). With over 3,000 births per year, the Obstetrics Department of the Women's Clinic is an integral part of this centre. As the largest perinatal centre in the region, our tasks include the interdisciplinary care of pregnancies with a high risk of pregnancy and birth together with neonatology and other neighbouring disciplines at Ulm University Hospital.

Aktionsbündnis Patientensicherheit e.V.
Outstanding medical quality can only have a positive effect for our patients if the risks of modern medical care are also optimally managed. A practised safety culture is therefore a top priority at our clinic. Many of the necessary measures (e.g. checklists or emergency training) were developed for gynaecology and obstetrics here at the hospital. The entire Ulm University Hospital has been a member of the APS since 2018.
German Consortium for Familial Breast and Ovarian Cancer
Our Centre for Familial Breast and Ovarian Cancer is one of the 17 university centres of the German Consortium for Familial Breast and Ovarian Cancer. We are one of the founding members of this network. In each of these centres, an interdisciplinary team of gynaecologists, human geneticists and psychologists offers specialised advice on familial breast and ovarian cancer to provide optimal care for those seeking advice and patients.
