Vienna's health revolution: billions for cutting-edge medicine by 2030!
On January 17, 2025, the city of Vienna presented its ambitious plans to improve healthcare in the capital. As part of the red-pink government meeting, it was emphasized that health and care have the highest priority. Mayor Michael Ludwig emphasized that the city will not save on medical care: “Vienna is taking precautions: Where others want to cut corners, we do the opposite.” A billion-dollar modernization program aims to improve public hospitals and private care and to expand the training of nursing staff. Investments of 3.3 billion euros are planned for a comprehensive modernization of the health infrastructure by 2030, so that Vienna can further expand its position as a health metropolis ots.at reported.
New primary care units for all Viennese
A central element of the new strategy are the primary care units (PVE), which are intended to ensure holistic care for all Viennese. These new units are designed to be the first point of contact in the health system to create a coordinated care structure close to home. The aim of introducing 36 new PVE by 2025 is to counteract the overloading of hospitals, which often arises from uncontrolled use of services. With the help of EU funding and financial support, for which in some districts up to 44,000 euros per contract position are offered, the attractive design is being outsourced. The Vienna Health Fund plays an essential role in this planning process and supports the implementation of these new healthcare structures.
The city of Vienna is also pursuing the goal of training 16,000 nursing staff by 2030 in order to meet increasing demand. The shortage of skilled workers should be addressed sustainably with new training positions and a focus on quality in nursing education. The coming years promise fundamental changes to healthcare in Vienna, aimed at providing high-quality medical services that are accessible to all citizens.
