"The establishment of its own department for hematology and internal oncology was an excellent decision for the quality in cancer medicine," said Pichler about the new possibilities in Oberwart.

The two primary have already shown plans to improve patient care. They emphasize that the extended medical infrastructure reduces the need to travel to other cities for complex treatments. "We hope that the patients can receive their medical care directly near them," explains Kornprat.

The Burgenlanders are increasingly proving to be an attractive workplace for doctors, not only because of the improved salaries, but also by investing in modern medical facilities and creating new ones.
