Protest against emergency practice closure: Bad Saulgau is fighting for health!

in Bad Saulgau, it is boiling: The current discussion about the closure of the emergency practice by the Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians Baden-Württemberg (KVBW) has led to great resentment among local politicians. Klaus Burger, CDU member of the state parliament, commented on the alarming plans in a conversation with the Südkurier: "I thought that it would be a catastrophic and incomprehensible." Burger sees this measures a direct threat to medical care in the region.

The concerns of burgers are not unfounded. He appealed to Minister Manne Lucha to check the situation and take the necessary steps to secure the existence of this important facility. "I think it is absolutely irresponsible if the KVBW, which is also responsible for the emergency care of people, withdraws here from the region," he said. The closure would not only worsen the immediate medical care, but would also also put a strain on the existing emergency rooms in Sigmaringen and Ravensburg. "Especially in a area of area with wide paths and after the closure of two hospitals, we are not allowed to afford it," said Burger, referring to the already insufficient care by resident doctors in the region.

Klaus Burger is not only in his concern. The mayor of Bad Saulgau, Raphael Osmakowski-Miller, has joined the mayors of a total of 17 other cities, in which the closure of emergency practices is also in the room. Together they organized a demonstration in Stuttgart for October 21st to protest against the restructuring plans of the KVBW. "We want to make it clear to the decision-makers that we cannot accept these closures," said Osmakowski-Miller. A bus is provided for the demos, which is available on the fairground for departure at 9:30 a.m. Participation in the trip to Stuttgart is free, but an individual journey is also recommended.

For the demonstration day, the KVBW plans a press conference during which the closure affected places are to be announced. At 12.15 p.m. there is a gathering, followed by an official start of the demonstration at 12.30 p.m. at the gates of the KVBW in Stuttgart-Möhringen. The situation remains tense and the regional politicians are combative against the plans of the KVBW.

concern about the closure of emergency practice is part of a greater challenge for the rural population, whose access to medical services seems to be increasingly at risk. Klaus Burger demands that the country support people in these regions and secure equivalent living conditions, because everything else would simply not be conveyable for the citizens of the Sigmaringen district. "It is our obligation to ensure medical care," concluded Burger. This topic could gain in importance, the closer the demonstration moves.
