The Zentrum für Gesundheitsethik (Centre for Health Care Ethics) at the Protestant Academy of Loccum is situated in Hannover. We participate in the public discussion of ethics in medicine, nursing, and other areas of health care.

We are a service and research institute appointed by the Lutheran Church of Hannover. Our services range from professional training to public relations, consisting of oral presentation, conferences, seminars, interviews, instruction and lecturing, as well as participation in various commissions and working groups. This we accomplish with our own events in cooperation with other institutions.

The work of the ZfG is financed by the Lutheran Church of Hannover (Evangelisch-lutherische Landeskirche Hannovers). Research and individual projects are financed by funding and fees.
