City clinics Mönchengladbach defend themselves against hospital plans!

Mönchengladbach, Deutschland - The municipal clinics Mönchengladbach have brought an action against a new hospital planning in North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW). This stipulates that the Elisabeth Hospital Rheydt, colloquially "Eli", will no longer be able to treat breast cancer patients in the future and that no joint replacement operations are allowed to carry out the hip and knee. This decision is based on the new determination notices presented by the Ministry of Health under the direction of Karl-Josef Laumann. Managing Director Thorsten Celary sharply criticizes this regulation: "What worries us the most concern is the care of the patient: inside," he said, adding that the clinics are willing to reduce unnecessary multiple structures, but would like to ensure proper treatment of the patients. According to Celary, the isolated consideration of medical disciplines endangers the economy of the facilities, since numerous departments are dependent on each other.

legal steps initiated

The city clinics already have several unsuccessful hearings behind them and are now trying to overturn the new regulations via the lawsuit. They demand the abolition of the decision to ensure that the affected performance groups remain part of the supply mandate. Health Minister Laumann has postponed the entry into force of these new rules to April 1, 2025. In the meantime, the clinics are relying on a strategic reorganization process that is to be supported by a personnel reinforcement. This is how chief physician Prof. Dr. med. Huan N. Nguyen advised the management, while Prof. Dr. med. Dirk Graf brings the expertise in gastroenterology. In gynecological oncology, a personnel expansion will also be carried out at the beginning of the year in order to expand the treatment offers in the area of ​​multi-organ oncology. These measures are intended to help ensure the quality of medical care. For more information, visit the page kma-online.de.
