In addition, the Group has 25 specialized departments, 7 certified oncology centres and a kidney transplant centre. The Allianz hospitals have more than 6,739 employees, among them 55 professors and associate professors. The total number of inpatient beds is 2,823. Each year 250,000 patients entrust their health to the clinics, of which more than 120,000 are treated as inpatients.
The Bremen centres’ compliance with the highest European quality standards of medical care is confirmed by DIN EN ISO 9001:2008 certification. Since 2015, the Allianz Hospitals have been on the list of the top 100 German hospitals.
Since its founding, the Nord Clinic Allianz has been the most sought-after medical network in Bremen. Doctors of the Nord Klinic Allianz in Bremen guarantee comprehensive disease diagnostics with state-of-the-art equipment, an accurate diagnosis and a personalized treatment regimen for each patient.
Nord Klinic Allianz provides a wide range of medical services. The clinics’ specialization covers more than 20 areas, including:
The Allianz ‘s multidisciplinary clinics employ 8,000 professionals, most of whom have been practising medicine for 10 years or more.
Professor Sebastian Melchior, head of the urology department at the Klinik Mitte and oncological urologist with more than 23 years of experience, has been recognized as one of the best experts in Germany.
Under the leadership of orthopaedic surgeon Dr Michael Paul, a specialist with 30 years of experience, the orthopaedic department of the Nord Clinics has become the Center for German Traumatology and Orthopedics.
More than 2,800 successful hip replacements are performed here each year along with knee arthroscopy. Arthroscopy allows for the most accurate diagnosis of knee pathologies and a successful mini-surgery with a 2-day recovery time at the same time.
For 100% accurate diagnosis, local doctors use the latest generation of medical equipment. In particular, they use modern PET-MRI and a new version of the da Vinci robot-assisted surgical system.
During a cancer diagnosis with PET-MRI equipment, the patient receives almost 10 times less radiation dose than during a conventional computed tomography (CT) scan. This provides the doctor with the highest quality image, allowing detection of the tumours in organs with maximum precision, to determine the extent of brain lesions, and to minimize negative outcomes during neurosurgery.
All of the Allianz ‘s cancer centers are certified by the German Cancer Society DKG (Deutsche Krebsgesellschaft e.V.). This confirms that all seven Nord Cancer Centers are equipped with the latest generation of equipment and treat cancer patients following international quality standards of care.
The team of plastic surgeons at the Mitte Clinic performs all kinds of plastic and reconstructive surgeries, guaranteeing their patients the expected results. The most popular direction of the centre is aesthetic surgery. The most popular procedures at the hospital are:
Other areas of plastic and reconstructive surgery clinic:

| 3D results modelling |
| Rehabilitation and recovery after surgery |
| Recommendations for facial care |
The oncology department of the Klinikum Mitte offers patients the most precise methods of cancer diagnosis and advanced treatment, in particular – the transplantation of the patient’s stem cells. The use of such special treatment in the fight against cancer once again confirms the powerful level of work of the Bremen Cancer Unit of the Allianz .
Stem cell transplantation is not suitable for all patients, but the best German clinics choose this method of treatment whenever possible, as it requires less intensive chemotherapy and reduces the risk of dangerous complications by half.
The oncology centre has a diagnostic radiology department (radiography, mammography, fluoroscopy and CT), interventional radiology department, molecular genetics department and pain therapy centre, offering advanced pain management techniques.
The Herzzentrum Bremen Cardiology Center, one of the leaders among German hospitals in the number of successfully performed cardiac surgeries, operates within the Nord Clinic.
Every year, the Center’s cardiac surgeons perform about 2,700 operations.
To accurately diagnose heart disease, patients at the Cardiology Center undergo a comprehensive ultrasound of the heart, stress-echocardiography with exercise, Doppler sonography and duplex sonography.
The head of the Department of Cardiac Surgery, Prof. Rainer Hambrecht, specializes in arrhythmia and radiofrequency ablation.
The Department of Urology at the Allianz Hospitals performs: removal of tumours in the prostate and bladder; open and closed surgery of kidney neoplasia; urethral and adrenal gland surgery; treatment of malignant tumours of the testicles.
Laparoscopic surgery to remove prostate cancer, as well as kidney surgeries, are often performed using the da Vinci robotic system. Benign prostate masses are removed using the Greenlight laser. Both methods of treatment allow for minimal postoperative complications and are as safe as possible given their high effectiveness.
The Department of Urology works shoulder to shoulder with the Bremen Kidney Transplant Center.
The orthopaedic department of the Allianz Network has become the Center for German Traumatology and Orthopedics because even patients with the most severe cases can be treated here. Every year, the department performs about 3,000 operations.
