The University Hospital Basel will take over the Claraspital Basel and the other companies of the Clara Group. Thereby, one of the three largest university hospitals in Switzerland will be formed.
 

The Swiss Competition Commission (COMCO) has examined the takeover and has decided not to initiate main proceedings. This means that the Claraspital can be integrated into the Group of the University Hospital Basel. The planned Comprehensive Cancer Center, where oncological services will be bundled at the site of the Claraspital, will provide Northwestern Switzerland with cutting-edge care in the field of cancer.
 

Bratschi advised and represented the University Hospital Basel in the merger proceedings before the COMCO. The Bratschi team was led by Prof Dr Rolf H. Weber (Competition) and encompassed Dr Samuel Jost and Dr Claudia Walz (both Competition).
