New board team of the Lower Austrian state health agency: Future strategy now!

St. Pölten, Österreich - In Lower Austria, the new board team of the Lower Austrian State Health Agency (LGA) was presented on March 5, 2025, which will now lead health care in the region. Gerhard Dafert and Bernhard Kadlec are also part of the new leadership under the leadership of Elisabet Brütigam, who acts as board spokeswoman and can look back on comprehensive expertise in medicine and care. State Councilor Ludwig Schleritzko (ÖVP), who is responsible for the clinics, emphasized the need for a "top -class team" in order to be able to counter the diverse challenges in the health sector, such as Ortszeit.at reported.

The team brings an abundance of experiences: groom will look after the areas of medicine, care and research. This focuses on personnel management and communication, while Kadlec is responsible for financial matters and digitization. This is particularly important to cope with the demographic change and the increasing number of older people. Schleritzko warned that every third person in Lower Austria will be over 65 years old in the next 25 years. This development requires strategic planning and efficient use of resources, which the new board team should implement in the coming months, such as ots.at reported.

A central project that is being tackled is the "health pact 2040+", which deals with the future structure of the hospital and supply landscape. Grütigam emphasized that the new team will face the challenges with commitment and responsibility and that the needs of the population will not lose sight of. "It is not a saving topic in the background," she assured, but it is about ensuring effective and high -quality health care.
