Research activities are an integral part of HUG's mission, and are carried out in close collaboration with the University of Geneva Faculty of Medicine.
The Geneva University Hospitals (HUG), a leading national and international academic institution, brings together eight public hospitals and two clinics.
This body sits every week. In 2017, it handled 389 cases and met 45 times.
As part of its work, the EC in particular:
monitored the implementation of the Vision 20/20 strategic plan and the progress of nine projects
worked on the operation of the governing bodies, in connection with the audit carried out by the audit office
studied specific concerns, for example compliance with the labour law, care for crossborder patients and the transfer of several departments to the new Gustave Julliard hospital building
modified several directives and the composition of certain commissions
discussed a new security concept and the continuity of HUG’s activities in the event of a major incident.
