* The "Service" division
covers all cross-sectional services and supports the specialist divisions in the fulfillment of their tasks
* Division "Health Protection, Health Promotion"
with the Units "Prevention and Health Promotion", "Child and Adolescent Health", "Infectiology and Hygiene" and "Infection Epidemiology"
