Wiener Privatklinik (WPK): more details about the clinic
The Wiener Privatklinik (WPK) is a private hospital in the university quarter of Vienna, Austria, next to the Vienna General Hospital and the Medical University of Vienna.

It is led by Prof. Christoph Zielinski, and its team includes cancer surgeons such as the thoracic surgeon Prof. Walter Klepetko.

Diagnostics are gathered under one roof, so results are available quickly and without repeated appointments. Imaging includes MRI, CT, PET-CT and SPECT-CT, alongside endoscopy and molecular analysis.
