Eye clinic Wittenberge: New management is fighting waiting times!

Wittenberge, Deutschland - On October 21, 2024, the new eye day clinic of the Ober Scharrer Group (OSG) opened its doors at the train station in Wittenberge. After two years of intensive construction work, Groß Pankow's location was moved to the newly designed building at the train station. But there were unexpected difficulties at the start: the demand exceeded expectations and new dates were only offered from January 2025, which already led to the first symptoms about long waiting times, as nnn.de reported.

new leadership for efficient care

In order to counter the challenges in patient care, the OSG has now made important personnel changes. The previous medical director, Jan Brands, was carried out by Dr. Amir Hamed replaced, while Isabelle Könning was appointed the new director of the ophthalmological center. In a press release, Könning said that due to the construction work and the existing shortage of skilled workers, one was currently restricted. "Our goal is to make a smooth process," said Könning. These measures are particularly important in the context of high demand, since the clinic is known for its comprehensive ophthalmological care.

In order to strengthen the staff and to meet the patient demand, the clinic announced that new employees will be hired at the beginning of 2025. This is intended to better manage the challenges. The Eye Day Clinic will not only play a central role in Wittenberge, but will also be optimal in the surrounding locations such as Salzwedel, Stendal and Rathenow to meet the needs of the patients, such as OSG.de . This comprehensive commitment of the clinic support aims to ensure quality care in the long term.
