Lausanne University Hospital

The Lausanne University Hospital (French: Centre hospitalier universitaire vaudois, CHUV), in Lausanne, is one of the five university hospitals in Switzerland.

The Lausanne University Hospital is linked to the Faculty of Biology and Medicine of the University of Lausanne (UNIL).

The CHUV's medical services benefit over 45,000 patients a year. Almost 3000 babies are born every year in the obstetrics department. Approximately 9000 employees work at the CHUV.

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.

In 2021, like in the previous year, CHUV has been ranked as the 9th best hospital in the world by Newsweek Magazine. In 2019, the university hospital was rated as the leading hospital in Switzerland.

Departments of the University Hospital of Lausanne:

The University Hospital of Lausanne is located in Lausanne, close to the centre of the city. It is served by the Lausanne Metro Line 2, from the "CHUV" station.

Some laboratories are located in Épalinges (north of Lausanne), on a campus shared with the University of Lausanne and the Biopôle.
