The University Clinic for Hospital Hygiene and Infection Control is one of the leading institutions in the field of hygiene in healthcare facilities and hospital epidemiology.
Hygiene as the basis for first-class patient care, innovative research and high-quality training of medical specialists are important to us.
As an organisational unit of the Medical University of Vienna, we use epidemiological data to research and develop innovative approaches to prevent infections and minimise the risk of transmission of antibiotic-resistant pathogens and work together with clinics and hospital operations to ensure an optimal and safe patient environment.
