Gynaecology &
Obstetrics
The Gynaecology and Obstetrics Department at Tauernkliniken focuses on the health and well-being of women in every phase of life. Our services range from preventive care and diagnosis to the treatment of gynaecological conditions and care during pregnancy, childbirth and postnatal care.
Our experienced doctors, midwives and nurses work closely together to provide individual care for each patient. We combine medical expertise, state-of-the-art technology and human care. This ensures that every woman feels understood and well looked after.
We pay particular attention to obstetrics: from preparation to delivery and aftercare, we accompany expectant parents with empathy and professionalism. Our team supports you in experiencing a self-determined and safe birth, while responding to your individual wishes and needs. In gynaecological care, too, we focus on precise diagnostics, gentle therapies and empathetic counselling. Whether preventive examinations, surgical procedures or the treatment of complex diseases – we value a trusting atmosphere and personal support.
We combine expertise, experience and humanity to provide women with optimal support at all stages of their lives.
