Emergency practices in danger: Bad Saulgau before the medical collapse!

Bad Saulgau, Deutschland - Medical care in the region is increasingly under pressure, especially in the district of Sigmaringen. In particular, the emergency practice in Bad Saulgau, which is open from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. during the weekend, is about to close. This was announced by the SPD member of the Bundestag Robin Mesarosch, who criticizes the plans of the Baden-Württemberg (KVBW) Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians. The member of the state parliament points out that this decision could result in a severe deterioration in medical care.

In the past 1.5 years, 30 percent of emergency practices have already been closed in the state, which means a dramatic increase in travel times and thus difficulties for many patients, especially older people. "The Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians is there to secure our medical care. Also in the country!" Explains Mesarosch. He warns that the pressure on the emergency rooms in the hospitals will continue to increase because more and more people who have no real emergencies will go to these facilities.

The MP promotes a clear message: Bad Saulgau has already lost his hospital, and after the promised primary care center has not been realized, the emergency practice is now on the brink. These developments require rapid action, says Mesarosch. He calls on the responsible minister Manne Luche (Greens) to order the KVBW and to proceed against these closures. "I expect the state government to become active and to defend the health location in Saulgau," continued Mesarosch.

The situation is alarming, especially since the district of Sigmaringen had to accept significant losses in healthcare in the past. The closure of the emergency practices could significantly burden the residents of the area and may lead to a deterioration in the health care situation.

planned closures and upcoming appointments

The intended closures of the emergency practices ensure large -scale discussions in regional healthcare. Many are wondering how the supply of the population can be maintained if the local infrastructure is further reduced. The debate about emergency practice in Bad Saulgau is therefore not just a local problem, but a nationwide topic that could start a broader discourse on the future of health care in rural areas.
