Following its spin-off from the state administration of the Canton of Basel-Stadt, it now has the organisational form of a state-owned enterprise.
With its 7,219 employees (as of 31 December 2017), who treat around 38,000 inpatients per year (as of 2017), the University Hospital Basel is one of the largest employers in the region.
