Protest in the Uckermark: Citizens are fighting for their hospitals!
In the Uckermark, bubbles on the streets! A strong alliance of unions, the Marburger Bund and committed citizens has formed to fight for the preservation of the clinics in Angermünde and Prenzlau. This protest is making high waves, because on December 10th the supervisory board of the GLG Society for Life and Health mbH will decide on the future of these important institutions. The mobilization of the population culminated with a large demonstration in front of the GLG headquarters in Eberswalde, which begins on December 10th at 4.30pm, as in a report by Märkische Oderzeitung is highlighted.
renovation of hospitals under pressure
The situation is tense: The GLG has given a renovation order for the clinics in Angermünde and Prenzlau, as both facilities fight with one million deficit. According to Uckermark Kurier, a renovation concept has already been developed, which, among other things, provides for conversion to stationary offers into outpatient care offers. While these measures aim to secure basic medical care, it remains uncertain whether the intensive care units of the two hospitals can continue to exist.
The management emphasizes that despite the deep financial crisis, the inpatient area is not abandoned. It is planned that a medical care center will be built at the Angermünde hospital by 2029 at the latest, which also works outside of regular office hours. This shows how important a nationwide health care is on site.
The protest campaigns and the planned strike at the GLG hospital in Angermünde are not only the necessary expression of the dismissal about the structural changes, but also illustrate the great will of the municipality to actively defend health care in the region.
