Linköping University Hospital

The University Hospital in Linköping serves as the hub for highly specialised care in the south-east healthcare region. It is where advanced clinical care, research, education, and technological innovation converge. The hospital is internationally recognised in areas such as advanced burn care, cardiac care, medical imaging and visualisation, digital pathology, and high-level isolation care, and it provides national specialised medical care across several fields. Research and development are conducted in close partnership with Linköping University.

What makes Linköping University hospital unique?

The University Hospital in Linköping works closely with other hospitals and healthcare providers within Region Östergötland, as well as with neighbouring regions in the South-East healthcare region, the Regional Cancer Center, and Linköping Comprehensive Cancer Center. Strong collaboration also characterises the university hospital’s relationship with Linköping University, marked by openness, low hierarchy, and an interdisciplinary approach.

What value does Linköping University Hospital see in collaborating within SUHA?

The alliance enables university hospitals to share responsibility for more equitable access to highly specialised care and strengthens our joint efforts in research and development. Together, we can achieve more than any one of us can accomplish alone.


“It is essential that highly specialised care in Sweden is given the best possible conditions to evolve in order to meet patients’ needs today and in the future. This collaboration aims not only to strengthen the university hospitals but to support all parts of the healthcare system.”
