| Mission |
VU University Medical Center substantially contributes to the quality of the health service and, subsequently, to the welfare of individuals. In its role as a university medical center (UMC), VU University Medical Center develops and applies knowledge within five leading pivotal points in patient care and pioneering research: cancer, brain, vital functions, movement, and -extramural/transmural care (the latter is defined as the interface between primary and secondary health care). In addition, VU University Medical Center disseminates knowledge within an engaging medical, nursing, and paramedical training system. The purpose is to improve patient care still further. Knowledge makes us better and helps us move forward, and this is evident in VU University Medical Center. In addition to new methods of treatment and types of care, this also applies to innovative scientific developments and insights. Not only content with making patients better, VU University Medical Center itself wants to improve further and to become still better in future. |
