New special outpatient clinic

Long road back to life from intensive care

Complications resulting from a long stay in a hospital's intensive care unit are complex. Vienna's Franziskus Hospital is launching the first outpatient clinic to care for these patients.

"Thanks to intensive care medicine, more people are surviving the most serious illnesses, but there are also many after-effects," says Georg Roth, head of the intensive care unit at Franziskus Spital in Vienna-Margareten.
