30 years of Wiener Privatklinik

Wiener Privatklinik is celebrating its 30th anniversary as one of Austria's leading private clinics. Since it was taken over by a group of dedicated doctors in 1995, WPK has developed into an internationally recognized institution - with precise diagnosis, first-class medical care, state-of-the-art technology and internationally renowned specialists.

" Wiener Privatklinik has been the home of doctors for doctors for three decades. Our mission was and is to create a center of medical excellence that offers optimal conditions for both the treating physicians and the patients," says Dr. Walter Ebm, co-founder and CEO of Wiener Privatklinik.

A comprehensive expansion at the Mariannengasse site will begin in 2025 with an investment of 55 million euros. This includes 6 new operating theaters, additional intensive care capacity and new medical infrastructure. The architectural concept by Moser Architects combines state-of-the-art technology with an innovative spatial concept that makes patient care even more flexible and efficient.

"With the expansion in Mariannengasse, we are sending a clear signal for innovation, continuity and progress in medical care," emphasizes Dr. Walter Ebm.

Since its reorganization in 1995, the Vienna Private Clinic has developed from a small staffed hospital into one of the most renowned private hospitals in Austria. The clinic has been recognized in the "World's Best Hospitals" ranking by Newsweek and Statista for five years in a row with 2025.

The excellent reputation of the Vienna Private Clinic is based on the high quality of the doctors treating patients - 28 of them are listed in the renowned Stanford list of the world's most cited physicians - proof of the excellent scientific and clinical expertise.

"These accolades show that Wiener Privatklinik not only meets the highest medical standards, but is also valued internationally as a center for cutting-edge medicine," says Thomas-Peter Ebm, Managing Director of Wiener Privatklinik.

Medical innovation and individual patient care

The Vienna Private Clinic covers over 30 specialist areas and operates 10 competence centers, which are characterized by interdisciplinary cooperation and state-of-the-art diagnostic and treatment methods. A key role is played by interdisciplinary cooperation such as the regular tumour board, at which experts from various disciplines jointly develop personalized treatment plans for cancer patients.

In addition to excellent medicine, the Vienna Private Clinic focuses on tailor-made services: more than 30 languages spoken, in-room comfort, international à la carte cuisine and customized diet plans, VIP services with personal care, interpreters, hotel bookings, transfers and exclusive patient lounges make your stay as pleasant as possible.

With the LONGEVITY program, Wiener Privatklinik has established a modern, forward-looking strategy as a further success factor. The program offers comprehensive prevention, diagnostics, specialized treatment and long-term aftercare.

Sustainability in healthcare

With comprehensive environmental management, the Vienna Private Hospital is committed to the sustainable use of resources. Innovative energy-saving measures have reduced electricity consumption by a quarter and heat consumption by a third. Initiatives such as optimized waste management, modern lighting systems and sustainable medication logistics contribute to the clinic's ecological responsibility.

Wiener Privatklinik remains true to its motto: A house of doctors for doctors - for the benefit of patients. It stands for medical excellence in diagnosis, treatment and aftercare. With cutting-edge technology, international medical expertise and patient-centered care, it is positioning itself as a leading healthcare institution for decades to come.
