Charité Berlin

Charité is Berlin's university medical institution, linking patient care, research and education across four campuses. Its centers encompass a broad range of clinical and scientific disciplines; annual reporting separates hospital activity from the wider group and identifies physicians and researchers as a combined category.

The institution's annual accounts describe more than one hundred clinics and institutes working across four campuses. Clinical treatment, biomedical investigation and medical education are presented as connected activities of the same university institution. The campus count is an organizational and geographical description; it is not a statement that Charité consists of four individual buildings.

Charité's annual reporting distinguishes the university hospital from the wider consolidated group. It also separates inpatient and day-case activity from outpatient cases. The 2024 report records 143,759 inpatient and day-case patients and 822,547 outpatient cases. These measures describe different care settings and reporting definitions, so they are not combined into a claim about the number of unique people treated. The planned bed figure is linked to Berlin's hospital planning arrangements rather than to a live count of vacant places.

The workforce tables also require attention to their categories. Charité reports nursing staff separately from the combined scientific and medical category. The latter includes both physicians and researchers and therefore does not provide a stand-alone count of practising doctors. This is why the profile preserves an explicit distinction between a verified workforce category and the doctor field requested in the clinical facts.

The official research portal describes basic biomedical science, patient-oriented investigation, clinical studies and shared infrastructure. It identifies interdisciplinary cooperation and support for translating laboratory questions into clinical research. External research funding is reported through distinct public, academic, foundation, industry and other sources in the annual account, documenting an organized research environment rather than an assumption based solely on the hospital's university name.

Clinical departments provide their own patient information and access arrangements. The nephrology and intensive-medicine service is one documented example, linking specialty consultation with the corresponding inpatient and critical-care services. International financial information is likewise department-specific: the published DHZC guidance describes individual estimates after medical review and prepayment arrangements, rather than one treatment price applicable to every Charité clinic.

The institution reports the following clinical and infrastructure information: outpatient care: Yes; inpatient beds: 3,293 (Charité including DHZC, 2025.); intensive care / resuscitation: Yes. The scope and reporting period remain those of the linked institutional sources.

Charité connects basic biomedical research with patient-oriented clinical research. Its official research portal describes interdisciplinary collaborations, clinical studies, shared research infrastructure and support for translating laboratory findings into clinical questions.
