4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "I was actually looking for an explanation of the term, rather than to a flawless translation. All explanations were basically quite similar (my initial guess was it could be a sort of "Chamber of Industry and Commerce" for medical practitioners. Thank you all!"

Medical centre

…would work for the UK.
Several doctors with surgeries/consultation rooms in shared premises.

medical center

IMHO, 'medical center' might be more appropriate.

My nephrologist has his clinic in an Ärztehaus, which is located within the compound of a hospital. In this Ärztehaus, there is a cardiology clinic, a radiology clinic, an oral surgery clinic, etc.

Medical Office Building

Well - as much as I hate to disagree with highly respected colleagues - that's a Medical Office Building. Neither facility, either German or American, contains more than a bunch of office/diagnostic space, but most certainly a pharmacy, and likely a laboratory. The medical office buildings I go to over here have more dentists/physicians of all specialties than I ever thought possible; however, their hard-core diagnostics (CT, other high-radiation radiology) and surgical facilities are usually at some hospital just around the corner. Same in good old Germany.

ruslingua - you are quite right in that it depends on what your particular Aerztehaus is equipped to do; that should come from the context. My translation is from Federal Republic German to US English; if your Aerztehaus is set up to do surgery under sterile conditions and/ or radiology other than just X-rays and/or an emergency room and/or admits patients to a ward in the building, my suggestion of a "Medical Office Building" is no good. See http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poliklinik
that rather is equivalent to

Note from asker:
Soweit ich beurteilen kann, ist der einzige Punkt, wo Sie mit den Kollegen uneinig sind, dass "their hard-core diagnostics (...) and surgical facilities are usually at some hospital just around the corner". Stimmt etwa nicht das Gleiche fuer die deutsche "Poliklinik", so dass neben den vorgeschlagenen Varianten sogar auch "outpatient department"/"dispensary" richtig waeren?

neutral Lancashireman : 'a bunch of office space'?

Well, I wouldn't know about UK; you mean, they have the surgery for your wisdom teeth/ abnormal kolposkopie/ prostate in the same building?
