Many academic and research institutions have gained international recognition and provide first-rate facilities. For example, the Hannover Medical School has established itself as one of the world’s leading medical institutions. Particularly noteworthy is its specialization in (pre-)clinical research, infectious disease biology, and transplant medicine. The International Neuroscience Institute (INI), a specialized clinic and research facility for a wide range of conditions, has been highly successful.

The University of Veterinary Medicine Hannover (TiHo) Foundation, with its core disciplines of infectious diseases, neuroscience, animal health, food science, and clinical research, is one of the most long-standing institutions of its kind in Europe. The Klinikum Region Hannover (KRH), the region’s most high-performing hospital system with twelve hospitals, is one of the most significant municipal hospital systems in Germany. The Auf der Bult Children’s and Youth Hospital is also known nationwide.

The healthcare industry is Hannover’s most important sector for the future and is promoted by the HMTG and other partners, for example through an annual healthcare supplement (more information here) in regional daily newspapers.
