Charité

Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin is a public university hospital spanning four campuses in the German capital. It combines patient care, medical teaching and research through about 100 departments and institutes.

The Charité group reported 25,256 employees in its 2025 figures, including 5,882 researchers and physicians. The hospital and medical faculty therefore combine clinical services with a large research workforce. Its public presence includes websites and online services alongside clinical systems.

During the October 2026 PHP2Shell response, Charité took services offline while administrators addressed two critical flaws. Public reporting described precautionary downtime and did not confirm that an attacker had compromised clinical systems or accessed patient data.
