In Grevenbroich, the Elisabeth Hospital is in focus thanks to a planned restructuring that raises questions and uncertainties among the population. Politicians from the "My Grevenbroich" parliamentary group are now pushing for more transparency from the responsible shareholders. They want to convene a public event in order to give the citizens the opportunity to speak directly to those responsible.

In the current plans for the Rhineland Clinic, it is planned to delete outpatient emergency care in the Elisabeth Hospital. This decision has already led to violent protests in Grevenbroich, including a funeral march that underlines the concerns of the residents. However, the partners of the hospital, the Rhein-Kreis and the city of Neuss emphasize that the measure is without alternative. In view of this sensitivity, politicians demand more direct communication because the previous information has only been spread through the media.

The demand for direct communication

The "My Grevenbroich" faction emphasizes that it is important for such an important matter to actively involve citizens in the decision -making process. "People have the right to know what changes will come to them and how they could affect them," said a spokesman for the parliamentary group. The organizers wish that the public event of the citizens' concerns are expressed and solutions are offered in order to reduce possible fears.

The Elisabeth Hospital plays a central role in the health care of the region. The planned deletion of important services could have far -reaching consequences for patient care. Therefore, the call for the event is also an attempt by politicians to promote direct dialogue with the citizens and to hold the responsible persons.

The first protests have already heated the minds. Citizens are not sufficiently heard in their concerns and fear that the closure of the emergency service could endanger health care. This is also reinforced by the previous communication strategy of the shareholders, who announced their decisions exclusively through the media, which was caused by many. "In such a sensitive area, the decisions should not be made behind closed doors," explains a resident who actively participated in the protests.

Overall, the situation is not only important locally, but also reflects a major discussion about health care in rural regions. The politicians therefore not only call for immediate transparency, but also a new approach in which the voices of the citizens are heard. The public event could therefore be a first step in the direction of a more open and transparent discussion about the future of the Elisabeth Hospital and its role in the community. according to www.news894.de are many citizens are ready to actively participate in this discussion in order to ensure the future of their health care.
