Cooperation with Bonn University Hospital
Our Paraplegic Centre is supported by the University Hospital Bonn. Through this close cooperation, all the therapeutic options of the university hospital are available to us. All surgical interventions for the treatment of complications typical of paralysis, or for the treatment of other diseases not related to paralysis, are performed there.
