In Bremen sind einige der wichtigsten medizinischen<br />
Forschungsinstitute ansässig.<br />
Bremen is home to some of the most important<br />
medical research institutes.<br />
free clinics Diako Ev. Diakonie hospital, St. Joseph-Stift<br />
hospital, Roland clinic and the Red Cross hospital. The<br />
individual hospitals and clinics have their own special<br />
medical profiles. High cardiological expertise is to be<br />
found for example in Bremen Heart Centre in the south<br />
of the city. 8,000 operations each year make it one of the<br />
largest cardiological centres in Germany. The North of<br />
Bremen has another facility of national significance – the<br />
Neurological Rehabilitation Centre of the Friedehorst<br />
Foundation. It helps children, youngsters and young adults<br />

The University of Bremen has reacted to the mega trend<br />
by introducing degree courses in nursing sciences and<br />
public health sciences or health and medical law. In addition,<br />
Bremen University of Applied Sciences offers the<br />
international degree course in care and health management.<br />
Bremerhaven University of Applied Sciences offers a<br />
degree course in medical technology in cooperation with<br />
