Hirslanden Clinique Cecil is a Swiss hospital, located in Lausanne, Vaud. Founded in 1931, it has been part of the Hirslanden Private Hospital Group since 1990. During the 2015/16 fiscal year, 3,974 hospitalised patients were treated by 391 physicians.[1][2]
The emergency department of Clinique Cecil is the official medical partner of Bertrand Piccard and André Borschberg’s world tour for Solar Impulse.[3][4]
Clinique Cecil was originally a hotel, built between 1905 and 1907 by architect Charles Melley. In 1931, the hotel was refurbished as a clinic by Georges Espitaux.[5][6] In 1923, Soviet envoy Vatslav Vorovsky was assassinated by expat Maurice Conradi in the busy hotel restaurant, and his subsequent trial became an international sensation.[7] In 1972, the clinic was bought by the American Medical International group. In 1990, the Hirslanden Private Hospital Group bought Clinique Cecil.[6]
In 2012, following a strategic realignment, Pierre-Frédéric Guex left office after 17 years of service.[8] He was replaced by Philipp Teubner who resigned in June 2015.[9] Today, the clinic is directed by Jean-Claude Chatelain.[10]
In 2016, Clinique Cecil has 474 employees, 391 physicians, 86 beds, 6 operating rooms, including 1 hybrid, and 2 birthing rooms.[2][11][12] Hirslanden Clinique Cecil recorded 3'974 patients in 2016.[2][9]
The clinic also has an intensive care unit of 7 beds recognised by the Swiss Society of Intensive Care Medicine.[13]
In 2013/14, Clinique Cecil contributed 6.4% to the turnover of the Hirslanden Private Hospital Group.[14]
In November 2015, Clinique Cecil expanded its infrastructure with the creation of a 900 m2 building.[10] The new infrastructure includes Switzerland's first hybrid operation room integrating conventional operating room equipment with high-end radiology equipment.[11]
