Dear stars alumni


We are very pleased to invite you to our stars Switzerland alumni chapter meeting at Balgrist University Hospital.

In an era of rapid digital transformation, Balgrist University Hospital is driving the evolution of musculoskeletal medicine. Orthopedic challenges are translated into scientific questions and, through innovative research, brought back into clinical practice – always with the goal of providing patients with even more precise and effective treatments.

A special highlight is the Operating Room X (OR-X), a state-of-the-art surgical environment where digital technologies and robotics merge with human expertise. Guided through Prof. Dr. med.
