About the clinic

Asthma diagnostics and treatment are provided at the specialized pulmonology center within Bethanien Clinic in Solingen, Germany. The clinic is an academic teaching hospital affiliated with the University of Cologne. Diagnostic work-ups may cost around €50–1,200, consultations with a professor run €250, and inpatient chemotherapy for severe cases is typically €2,500–3,000 per course.

The clinic’s pulmonology and allergology specialists perform over 5,000 endoscopies annually. Their comprehensive diagnostic approach helps accurately assess and classify asthma severity. This allows for highly individualized therapy planning for each patient.

Available Diagnostic Procedures

The clinic offers a full spectrum of tests to confirm asthma and identify triggers. The Pulmonary Center Initial Package for around €1,200 includes key evaluations. A full diagnostic work-up may involve:

  • Medical history consultation and physical exam.

Asthma Treatment Options

Based on diagnostic results, doctors develop a personalized management plan. Treatment focuses on controlling symptoms and preventing attacks.

  • Medication therapy uses personalized inhalers and controllers. Hospital stay can be outpatient or 1-7 nights for stabilization.
  • Allergen immunotherapy (desensitization) reduces long-term allergic reactions. This is typically an outpatient treatment.
  • Emergency asthma management provides rapid relief for acute attacks. It uses bronchodilators and corticosteroids, often requiring a short 1-3 night hospital stay.
  • Inpatient chemotherapy is available for severe, difficult-to-control cases. A course typically costs €2,500–3,000 and includes the hospital stay, medication, and monitoring.

Patients receive care in a modern facility with tri-lingual support. The clinic’s academic affiliation ensures adherence to the latest treatment protocols. To explore these diagnostic and treatment options, you can request a detailed consultation.

Absolutely horrible! I would not give even 1 star. Went there for RT-PCR test and they were so harsh. The person who did the test was so rude and rough with me that my nose started bleeding after the test! They don’t even have the basic training to treat patients gently and with kindness. Would never go there until I absolutely have to.

Such nice staff :-) I was an inpatient at Bethanien for a week for desensitization against wasp venom. On the ward and in the other departments I had to go through, everyone was always helpful and super friendly. Everyone was always attentive, was willing to listen, and always had time. And that was the case even though the hospital was very busy. If I can choose, I'll definitely go back there for my next hospital stay. Many thanks to everyone!

My mother was in ward 3a until yesterday. We were completely satisfied and my mother felt very well looked after. The ward doctor tried very hard and no examinations were missed. The nursing staff responded to all requests and provided excellent care, which is absolutely not a given these days. Thanks!
