Emergency practice in Albstadt: Hope despite the planned closure!

In Albstadt, the future and the operation of emergency practice are on the brink. Although the Baden-Württemberg (KVBW) Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians announced the end of the practice in the Zollernalb Clinic in October, Mayor Roland Tralmer has not yet ticked off the matter as final. He announced that the closure will take place at the federal road 463 at the earliest after the tunnel construction site has been completed, since this brings significant impairments to the accessibility of other emergency practices. "We have been able to achieve that much so far," emphasized Tralmer at a municipal council meeting in which Dr. Doris Reinhardt, deputy chairman of the KVBW, was present. He appealed to take into account the consequences of the construction site, since other practices were not available during the work, as well as reported.

During the pressure to close, the confusion among the population is great. Especially since a total of 18 emergency practices in the southwest are affected. The new plans that were officially presented in Stuttgart provide excitement. According to the tralmer, one has to prepare for the fact that the announced closure of the emergency recording over the holidays can hardly be averted because the staff is missing. "I hear the clinic management that it is due to the lack of staff and that you have to ensure the company," he said in a pessimistic manner. These concerns have already been confirmed by the clinic managers in a press release, in which the course of the clinic company was also presented over the holidays. How Schwarzwaelder-bote.de reported, there are now only emergency practices in the region in selected cities.
