Labor Berlin, Europe’s largest hospital laboratory, celebrates its anniversary and looks back on 10 successful years of cutting-edge diagnostic medicine.

 

We are a link between science, healthcare and industry. In addition to the care provided by Charité and Vivantes, the unique merger and further development of the laboratories under the umbrella of Labor Berlin has made the possibilities of cutting-edge university medicine and the wide range of diagnostic services offered by the largest municipal hospital group available to many other clinics and referring physicians, and especially to their patients.

“When two strong partners join forces, skills and perspectives can add up. They can even multiply.”

As the first joint subsidiary of Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin and Vivantes – Netzwerk für Gesundheit, this is exactly what we have achieved. Labor Berlin is a success story in public hands.

For patients

Over 60 million laboratory analyses are carried out each year at the 13 laboratory locations in Berlin. Since then, several million patients have received their results from Labor Berlin. This was often the basis for diagnosis and therapy.
