Magdeburg University Hospital receives DGUV certificate and participates in the severe injury procedure
The German Social Accident Insurance certifies the high quality of care
The University Clinic for Trauma Surgery in Magdeburg, headed by Prof. Dr. med. Stefan Piatek, has successfully obtained certification from the German Social Accident Insurance (DGUV). With this certification, the university hospital is officially involved in the severe injury procedure (SAV) and is therefore authorized to treat patients with the most severe accident injuries within the framework of statutory accident insurance.
Prof. Hans-Jochen Heinze, MD, Medical Director of Magdeburg University Hospital, explains: "Certification by the German Social Accident Insurance Association is a significant milestone for Magdeburg University Medicine. It confirms the excellent medical and structural quality of our trauma surgery, as well as the high level of interdisciplinary cooperation and constant readiness. Our participation in the severe injury procedure underscores our responsibility and capability in the supraregional care of severely injured patients.“
Prof. Piatek also emphasizes the significance of the award: ”We are very pleased about this certificate, which confirms the high standard of our care for patients with severe injuries. My special thanks go to our dedicated employees, whose daily commitment makes this quality possible."

The severe injury procedure places the highest demands on a hospital's personnel, structural and equipment resources. The successful certification confirms the high level of medical expertise and also reflects the high degree of interdisciplinary cooperation and the top-quality care available around the clock at the University Clinic for Trauma Surgery.
By participating in the SAV, Magdeburg University Hospital is taking on a central role in the supraregional care of severely injured patients. Those insured by statutory accident insurance thus benefit from fast, specialized, and high-quality treatment after accidents at work, on the way to work, or at school.
The certification underscores the University Clinic for Trauma Surgery's commitment to meeting and continuously developing the highest standards in trauma care.
