Lower Austria's clinics in transition: 120 million for new health clinics!

The health landscape in Lower Austria is facing a radical change: the number of state clinics is reduced from 27 to 23. According to an expert paper on the 'health pact 2040+', extensive restructuring is planned, which will fundamentally change the future of health care. The measures include the merging of several clinics into a single location, such as the merger of Hollabrunn, Korneuburg and Stockerau into a common Weinviertel Clinic. In addition, the Gänserndorf hospital is converted into a primary care center. This reports Exxpress.at .

The Gmünd hospital, which acts as a teaching hospital at the Medical University of Vienna, is also restructured. In its place, a new health clinic is to be built, which will be equipped with a primary care unit and a specialist center. Investments of 120 million euros are planned for this new project, and it is being developed in close connection to the cross -border health center Healthcross Med Gmünd. Additional plans include converted functions for the Klosterneuburg and Waidhofen clinics on the Thaya, which will focus on modern geriatric medicine. The clinics in Amstetten and Scheibbs will also enter into cooperation in the area of ​​obstetrics, as reported by gmuend.lknoe.at

The official presentation of these far -reaching plans is expected for the coming Monday. While the structures change, the goal of health care remains clear: patient care and their rights are at the top, and all measures should serve to recover the patient faster.
