Prof. Dr. med. Ulrich Vetter, Christoph R. Maier, Geschäftsführer der Klinikum Werra-Meißner GmbH

The Werra-Meißner medical centre together with the Eschwege Hospital has been an Academic Teaching Hospital of the Georg-August University of Göttingen since 2006. In early 2012, our hospital in Witzenhausen and thereby the entire Werra-Meißner medical centre were awarded this status. As cooperation partners, we work with Göttingen University Medical Centre in many of the fields of medicine.

Good medicine primarily depends on the good qualification of its up-and-coming doctors. As an Academic Teaching Hospital, the Werra-Meißner Medical Centre is already making its contribution to the practical training of future physicians. Since then, we have welcomed many students at our facilities. They have been involved in the treatment of our patients and have used the modern medicine offered by our institution to expand the wealth of their practical experience.

For the Werra-Meißner Medical Centre, the fostering of up-and-coming physicians and thereby our participation in financing the Germany Scholarship is a logical consequence. We are pleased to back the intention of honouring outstanding achievements and promoting young doctors in their preparations for their future professional careers.
