Universitätsklinikum Gießen und Marburg

Universitätsklinikum Gießen und Marburg (UKGM) is the third-largest university hospital in Germany, formed by the merger of the university clinics of Gießen and Marburg in 2005. It is notable for being the first privatized university hospital in Germany, currently operating as a subsidiary of Rhön-Klinikum AG under the Asklepios Kliniken umbrella. The hospital provides a comprehensive range of medical services, from primary care to highly specialized supra-maximal treatments across two main campuses. UKGM is a major hub for clinical research and medical education, maintaining close ties with the Justus Liebig University Gießen and the Philipps University Marburg. Its research activities are particularly strong in fields such as oncology, cardiovascular medicine, and pulmonology, often serving as a key site for international clinical trials.
