The Division of Reproductive Endocrinology is considered to be a pioneering centre in Switzerland. Novel approaches such as microinsemination, pre-implantation diagnostics, and ovarian tissue cryopreservation have been initiated with success. The Centre for Reproductive Medicine has been certified for its high quality. The pregnancy rates are high compared with those from other Swiss centres.

The Division of Reproductive Endocrinology focuses on the diagnosis of and therapy for involuntary childlessness and the treatment of menopausal symptoms, hormonal disorders, and contraception. The division performs more than 10,000 consultations each year. In addition to conventional treatment, the patients and their partners can be treated with traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Research is done in cooperation with the Department of Urology, the Division of Gynaecology, the Institute of Medical Genetics, and the University of Pittsburgh (USA).
