The General Accident Insurance Institution (AUVA) runs five trauma centres - Vienna (located in Meidling and Brigittenau/Lorenz Böhler), Klagenfurt, Linz, Salzburg and Styria (located in Graz and Kalwang) - with a total of 918 beds (including 54 intensive care beds), which are not limited to the treatment of occupational accidents. Most accidents occur during leisure time and are managed by trauma centres as well.
A highly qualified team of doctors, nursing personnel, medical technicians and administrators is responsible for the extensive management of trauma victims according to state of the art medical standards. Thus, survival and rehabilitation is made possible even for severely traumatised patients.
A total of around 2500 staff members care for patients in the trauma and rehabilitation centres. With the help of the most modern medical facilities, their common goal is to enable trauma victims to return to their former job/usual profession as soon and with as little residual physical impairment as possible. The trauma centres are focused upon the surgical and conservative treatment of all injuries and the resulting impairments in adults and children.
