Ravensburg district council: Central Clinic causes excitement in the Allgäu!

Hergatz, Deutschland - In the Ravensburg district council it is bubbling! The future of hospital care in Westallgäu will be decided on Tuesday, and the plans for a central clinic cause excitement. An expert opinion suggests building a new clinic on Bavarian ground, which is intended to replace the existing locations in Wangen and Lindau. The closure of the insolvent Red Cross Clinic in Lindenberg raises questions and makes the discussion even more explosive.

The concept provides to bundle patient care in a central place. With 258 to 288 plan beds, the new central clinic could not only optimize medical care, but also generate profits instead of producing deficits. The idea of reducing the previous double structures could increase efficiency and use resources better. But not everyone is enthusiastic about this suggestion!

Minister Lucha raises the alarm!

The Baden-Württemberg Minister of Health Manfred Lucha (Greens) has found clear words: he considers the new building project to be superfluous and instead sees a renovation of the hospital in Wangen as more sensible. In a letter to the Ravensburger District Administrator Harald Sievers (CDU), Lucha expresses his concerns and demands a corresponding concept for the renovation. This surprising phrase causes confusion, especially with Lindaus District Administrator Elmar Stegmann (CSU), who wonders why the discussion about the expert opinion is ended before his presentation in the district council.

The tension increases! It remains to be seen how the Ravensburg district councils will react to the plans. The meeting in Horgenzell could be pioneering for the hospital landscape in Westallgäu. The citizens and patients look forward to the decisions that are made here!
