My wife gave birth at this hospital. The doctor delivering the baby was arrogant and confrontational. The staff take a truly Calvinist attitude to pain relief during child birth. The hospital does not warn foreigners about their policy on epidural pain relief and misleads patients. The hospital only cares about what they can invoice to foreign insurance companies and does not about care standards or about patient well being. They flagrantly misrepresented how they work. My advice to foreigners is to give birth in their home country and avoid this hospital if at all possible.

Just got a bill from insurance for “services” at this clinic. EUR 259 for waiting in the room for 2 hours to get help right after the accident. Nice job 👍🏻

My Brother had a heart attack a few days ago at the Airport. Luckily, in line to get on the plane...two french doctors in line also to get on the plane were there to take immediate action. His heart stopped. The paramedics at the airport there in seconds to give CPR. Basically he was dead.. and worried about brain damage due to lack of oxygen. Revived...Taken to the Hospital straight into the operating room to put stent in a burst heart blood vessel. Used a new technique to lower body temperature to ease the brain damage. Couple days after defrosted him. Hence, some short term memory loss but few more days later getting better. His full long term memory returning. This is a world class Cardiac hospital. Thanks all the doctors nurses and staff. The two french doctors and the Airport Staff and paramedics.. he is still there at the moment in observation. Update 3 Nov 2020 After recovery, a few days, UBUR’d his way to london then LA his kids and sister. Back to his home in old movie star house off Sunset Boulevard. The Doctors put a pacemaker shock buster pack in his chest. Any kind of heart failure. Boom Automatic Cardiac Charge. Anyway, with a lease of life, Celebrating 2+ years old since being revived by the Doctors.....Lives well, Rides Motorbike into the California Sunset. Wife and family all good. Covid Safe. Thanks for taking the time to read and the credit is FOR the Doctors Nurses , the Airport passenger doctors and Everyone at this Great Hospital UMC. Five Star.

I hope when the personnel of this clinic will need some medical help that's the only place which will be available to them.

It's a big hospital, not many attempts have been taken to make it even a bit more cosy.
