University Medical Center Groningen

We are building the future of health, in patient care, scientific research, education and further training.

The University Medical Center Groningen (UMCG) is one of the largest hospitals in the Netherlands and is the largest employer in the Northern Netherlands. The more than 12,000 employees work together on care, research, training and education with the common objective: building the future of health.

The UMCG is the only university medical center in the Northern Netherlands. We offer complex care: patients who need complicated examinations and/or treatments, or suffer from a rare disease or multiple conditions, can come to us. This distinguishes us from general hospitals and treats patients who cannot receive this care elsewhere in the region. The UMCG is even the only hospital in the Netherlands for some very complex treatments.

Our care is based on the latest insights. Safety and quality come first, naturally with an eye for the wishes of our patients. For the UMCG, care does not stop at the hospital walls. The UMCG therefore works closely with general practitioners, midwives, home care and numerous other healthcare institutions.
