The Geburt 3000 concept allows for a specialized and protected environment for what are often normal spontaneous births. The nearby hospital provides a safety net. Through the exchange between professionals in education, advanced training, and continuing education, as well as in service, we can jointly promote and maintain high quality.
Prof. Dr. Dr. med. Martin Müller
Chief Physician of Obstetrics, Women's Center Bern
Future-oriented maternity care does not require opposition between clinical and out-of-hospital care—it needs a care model that consistently places the needs of the pregnant woman at the center.
Today, women desire safety AND self-determination, medical expertise AND continuous personal support. This is precisely where the strength of an integrated model lies, meaningfully connecting clinical and out-of-hospital obstetrics.
Geburt3000 creates space for care that is based not on structures, but on the actual needs of expectant families: individual, respectful, evidence-based, and interprofessional.
Modern maternity care means freedom of choice, continuity, and trust—regardless of where a birth takes place. Geburt3000 sets an important example for this and rethinks care: collaborative, networked, and human-centered.

Midwife and Head of Management of the Zürcher Oberland Birth Center
“An autonomous birth center located on hospital grounds fosters trust through close proximity and genuine collaboration rather than competition. This partnership creates a shared commitment to enhancing the well-being of women and families while ensuring safety and continuity of care. At the same time, healing architecture and thoughtfully designed spaces contribute significantly to the physical and emotional well-being of both families and midwives. Academic support further strengthens midwifery competencies and enables greater evidence and transparency regarding the high quality of out-of-hospital midwifery care.”
Robert Rhiner
MPH, healthcare consultant and entrepreneur
“Geburt 3000 offers expectant parents professional midwife-led care while providing the reassurance of an immediately adjacent acute-care hospital should complications arise. The collaborative partnership with the hospital, together with ongoing education, training, and research activities, ensures a high level of professionalism and continuous advancement in maternity care. This integrated model enables expectant parents to place their full trust in the birth center at every stage of the childbirth experience.”
Dr. Brida von Castelberg
Gynecologist
“The proximity of the birth center and its collaborative, non-competitive partnership with the hospital allow women to give birth under midwife-led care without fearing that complications might compromise their child’s safety. The non-clinical architectural design further enhances well-being — an essential factor in the physically and emotionally demanding experience of childbirth. This scientifically validated model will also highlight the expertise of our highly trained midwives.”
