The confrontation with a new viral disease has highlighted the importance of a healthcare that is both patient-oriented and research-based; university medicine is particularly crucial in this: not only for the rapid development of options for prevention diagnostics and therapeutics but also for the establishment of adequate structures and the sharing of knowledge with other actors in the healthcare system.Due to the rearrangement of medical care and the expansion of capacities to cope with the pandemic ambulatory and stationary care for patients with other illnesses has however faded into the background. Even important preventive measures had to be interrupted. The same applies to research activities. Now needs-based preventive diagnostic and therapeutic measures for all patients need to be resumed promptly and whenever possible to their full extent. In the long term the healthcare system should be set up to guarantee good care for patients and research activities at all levels even in times of extraordinary challenges.In order to ensure healthcare for all patients in times of a dynamically unfolding pandemic it is necessary to: install capacities; establish a regional and in-hospital early warning system for SARS-CoV-2 infections; secure personnel rooms and technical reserves for the treatment of COVID-19 patients when required; implement science-based targeted testing strategies and particularly strengthen public confidence in a safe and patient-oriented medical treatment. It is crucial to provide patients with high-quality care and health services by promptly integrating new research developments. It is the responsibility of the state to ensure healthcare in times of crisis and a quality-assured and science-based medical treatment for the population. This is especially provided by university hospitals.
