Dr. med. Katja Linke, born in 1971, studied medicine and health economics and worked in anesthesiology, intensive care, and emergency medicine. She is a trained altitude medicine specialist and breathing instructor. After professional positions in Switzerland and the United States, she has been working as a general practitioner in her own practice since 2001. Her philosophy: “We take the time—for your health.” Her journeys to the Himalayas have profoundly shaped her and changed the way she views both people and medicine.
