We have been serving our patients at Frauen-Permanence Zürich am Stadelhofen since 5 October 2015 - as the first practice for gynaecology and obstetrics in the city. Since then, our team has been providing specialist medical care every day, with or without an appointment. We are looking forward to moving into the new Calatrava building "Haus zum Falken" in spring 2026 and would like to thank you, our patients, for your trust and loyalty.
Ten years ago, the Zollikerberg Hospital was able to close an important gap between GP practices and hospital emergencies with the opening of the Women's Permanence Zurich under the direction of Dr Eduard Vlajkovic, Head Physician of the Women's Clinic at the time. It was the first gynaecological emergency practice in the city, centrally located at Stadelhofen. To this day, short waiting times, our walk-in service and emergency treatments in the evening, at weekends and on public holidays are at the heart of our concept.
Since then, Frauen-Permanence Zürich has continuously developed its services: Today, we combine uncomplicated emergency care with specialised consultation hours. Under the medical direction of Dr Marc Körnig, our team looks after patients on three tracks: one for preventive and routine examinations, one for pregnancy care and obstetrics - including special ultrasound in the field of foetomaternal medicine - and one for specialised consultations, for example for endometriosis, dysplasia or breast changes. This system enables us to provide you with targeted and efficient care while ensuring that waiting times remain short.

Dr Marc Körnig, Medical Director of Women's Permanence Zurich: "Our aim is to make every patient feel that they are in good hands with us. That's why we combine fast and efficient care with individually tailored services. We will continue to expand this concept in the coming years, always keeping an eye on the changing needs of our patients."
Christian Etter, Director of Zollikerberg Hospital, adds: "Our Women's Permanence Zurich has established itself as an indispensable pillar of gynaecological care at Stadelhofen. With the move to Haus zum Falken in spring 2026, we are creating modern rooms in which patients will continue to receive the best medical care. At the same time, the new location will enable us to expand the services offered by Zollikerberg Hospital in the city."
In addition to the proven gynaecological and obstetric care provided by the Frauen-Permanence Zurich, the new location in the "Haus zum Falken" at Stadelhofen will also house the Plastic Surgery Zurich, the BreastCentre Zurich and the Radiology department of Zollikerberg Hospital with a mammography service on site.

Black skin cancer: recognising, preventing and treating risks
In summer, when the sun is often at its highest and temperatures are at their peak, proper skin protection is essential. It is precisely now that we should take a conscious look at our skin health and inform ourselves about the risks of skin cancer. The focus today is on black skin cancer, also known as malignant melanoma. The incidence of melanoma has risen worldwide in recent decades - including in Switzerland - and is curable by surgery in over 80 per cent of cases. The main cause: UV radiation. In this interview, Dr Sora Linder, our specialist in dermatosurgery (surgical dermatology) and Head of Plastic Surgery Zurich, provides valuable insights and advice on the subject of melanoma.
