Complementary medicine at Zollikerberg Hospital - a supplement to cancer treatment
May 28, 2024
In this episode of the "Morgen:Rapport" podcast, Kathrin Schaffhuser talks to Dr Daniela Paepke and Irene Brenneisen about integrative medicine at Zollikerberg Hospital. Find out how complementary approaches usefully supplement conventional oncology and support the healing process of cancer patients.
The discussion revolves around the new outpatient Centre for Integrative and Complementary Medicine (ZIMT) at the Zollikerberg Hospital Women's Clinic. The experts explain how the ZIMT offers holistic support for cancer patients. The aim is not to replace conventional oncology, but to complement it in a meaningful way. Complementary therapies are used to alleviate the side effects of cancer treatments, strengthen patients' self-efficacy and support the healing process. The centre also offers targeted advice on individual questions relating to illness and therapy.
In addition to oncology, the ZIMT also treats other clinical pictures, always with the aim of practising medicine for body, soul and spirit.
