The Lausanne University Hospital is linked to the Faculty of Biology and Medicine of the University of Lausanne (UNIL).[4]
The CHUV's medical services benefit over 45,000 patients a year.[5] Almost 3000 babies are born every year in the obstetrics department.[6] Approximately 9000 employees work at the CHUV.[7][8]
The university hospital acts as a general university hospital for people living in the Lausanne area, covering all areas of medical treatment. It also serves as a hospital offering acute and specialist care for the whole Canton of Vaud and also some neighbouring Cantons.[9]
In 2021, like in the previous year, CHUV has been ranked as the 9th best hospital in the world by Newsweek Magazine.[10] In 2019, the university hospital was rated as the leading hospital in Switzerland.
