Confraternität & Goldenes Kreuz is a private hospital in Vienna formed in 2026 from two long-standing hospitals: the Confraternität, Vienna's oldest private hospital, whose origins go back to 1729, and the Goldenes Kreuz, home to the largest private maternity department in Austria. Both now operate on a single campus close to the Vienna General Hospital, with a shared new building nearby due to open at the end of 2028. The hospital has around 120 beds, cares for roughly 9,000 inpatients a year, and works with a network of about 350 affiliated specialists, many of them university professors. It belongs to the Mavie Med group, part of the UNIQA insurance group.
Cancer Care
The hospital's certified Breast Health Center diagnoses and treats breast cancer to internationally recognised quality standards, supported by breast cancer surgeons and oncologists. Gynaecological cancers, blood disorders, and cancers of the digestive organs, prostate and other sites are also treated, with surgery, medical oncology and haematology working side by side.
Women's Health and Childbirth
The Goldenes Kreuz hosts the largest private maternity department in the country, with around 1,600 births a year. Specialists in obstetrics, anaesthesia and intensive care are on site around the clock, and a paediatrician with neonatology training is on call day and night. A fertility centre, an endometriosis centre and prenatal diagnostics complete the women's health offering, and the hospital works closely with the university women's and children's clinics nearby.
