Leech Private Clinic : more details about the clinic
Privatklinik Leech, founded in 1973, is a private surgical clinic in the centre of Graz, the capital of Styria in southern Austria. It belongs to SANLAS Holding, a Styrian healthcare group founded in 1980 that today runs twelve health facilities across rehabilitation, care, prevention, acute medicine and surgery. Leech works as a "Belegarzt" clinic: patients are treated by the specialist of their choice from a team of around 100 doctors, who use the clinic's operating theatres, nursing team and infrastructure. With 44 beds in single and double rooms, three operating theatres and a round-the-clock recovery unit, the clinic combines a broad surgical range with the comfort and personal atmosphere of a small private hospital in the heart of the city.
