UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL MAGDEBURG

The holidays and the waves of infections (corona, colds, flu) of the past weeks have dampened the willingness to donate blood to such an extent that the University Hospital is struggling with a severe shortage of blood reserves. 

The University of Magdeburg honors its brightest minds every year. At the end of 2022, Marie Wölfer, MD, was awarded the PhD Prize of the Medical Faculty of Magdeburg for her doctoral thesis on the study of the effect of ketamine as an antidepressant.

Prof. Felix Walcher is the new president of the German Interdisciplinary Association for Intensive Care and Emergency Medicine (DIVI). For the next two years, the director of the University Hospital for Trauma Surgery Magdeburg will lead the professional association. Resilience of staff in intensive and emergency medicine is a key topic for the trauma surgeon. Likewise, his field of work is registry and care research in emergency medicine with expansion of the AKTIN emergency admission registry in Germany.
