Universitätsspital Zürich (USZ)
Schlaganfallzentrum Zürich (Stroke Center)
What this service does for you
The stroke center at the USZ is one of the largest and highest-certified centers in Switzerland. It treats severe strokes around the clock. In an emergency, all treatment options are immediately available, from thrombolysis to thrombectomy, as well as neurosurgical care if needed. In the first few hours, the goal is to treat the blocked or burst blood vessel as quickly as possible to save brain tissue. This is followed by close monitoring and the start of rehabilitation. The certification as a Stroke Center confirms that the full range of acute treatment, including complex procedures, is offered here 24 hours a day.
