Zollikerberg Hospital launches a birthing centre

With effect from 1 August, Angela Scalese has taken on the newly created role of Head of Communications and Marketing at Gesundheitswelt Zollikerberg. The new position forms part of a strategic reorganisation: the Foundation’s Executive Board has decided to pool existing resources more effectively and to merge the communications and marketing departments of the Foundation’s Executive Board and the hospital into a single division.

For the past three years, the Zollikerberg Birth Centre has been dedicated to midwife-led, as natural as possible births in a calm and homely atmosphere. It complements the services offered by the maternity clinic at Zollikerberg Hospital. Around 300 babies have been born here since then. Its third anniversary will be celebrated on Sunday 30 August 2026 with an anniversary party. Anyone interested is invited, as are families who have already given birth at the birthing centre.

Zollikerberg Hospital closed the year 2025 with a profit of CHF 4.9 million (2024: CHF –1.2 million) and an EBITDAR margin of 11.2 per cent (2024: 7.1 per cent). In addition to higher revenues, this result was driven in particular by the measures introduced to improve efficiency in processes and collaboration, as well as to reduce costs. Operating revenue rose by CHF 1.7 million compared with the previous year to CHF 187.7 million (2024: CHF 186.0 million).
