Clinic for Surgery
"Our patients should know that they are in good hands before, during and after the operation. Competent advice, up-to-date treatment and individual care are therefore our top priorities." Dr Andreas Schierz, Head of the Department of Surgery

Our visiting clowns in action: how Pippa-Jolie and Ina Schnusel bring a smile to people's faces
The two visiting clowns Pippa-Jolie and Ina Schnusel offer a fascinating insight into their work at Zollikerberg Hospital. With music, magic and humour, they visit patients on various wards every month to create moments of lightness and joy. They talk about people's touching reactions and share moving stories of encounters that have left lasting impressions.
