New pathological building in Krems: A milestone for patient care

In the past two decades, the hospital location in Krems has received significant progress: a new building for pathology has been inaugurated, which represents an investment of 7 million euros. This facility is regarded as a key element in healthcare, especially in oncology, and marks the first new building on the area for two decades.

Commercial director Roman Semler explained the challenges and successes during the planning phase, which brought a real up and down of difficulties. "This is the first section of the expansion," he noted optimistically and already announced the next steps that will include the expansion of the radiation therapy department.

technical details and capacities

The newly built pathological building comprises an impressive area of 850 square meters, on which 21 specialists work, including a biomedical analyst that gave an insight into the complex processes of pathology. In view of the handling of around 12,000 patient cases, the importance of this department should not be underestimated.

Head of Melitta Kitzwögerer emphasized how important the pathology is for patient care. "It was always in view to build up a contemporary pathology in the oncological center of Krems," added Clemens Schaurhofer, the location manager, and praised the cooperation with the state health agency and the political decision -makers. These partnerships are crucial to optimize the quality of medical care in the region.

The next construction projects are already being planned, and Reinhard Kargl from Leyrer+Graf presented the timber construction of the upper floor, which was implemented with innovative timber construction technology. Architect Gerhard Mirth pointed out that the efficient cooperation of everyone involved was a key to success. "It remains exciting," he said and was already looking forward to the upcoming construction phases.

Markus Klamminger, board member of the LGA, remembered his own experience in the hospital and emphasized the essential character of the pathology for the entire range of treatment. "Pathology is something essential, an important part of the offer!" A sentimental review of the past underlined the urgency and the value of this medical specialization.

In various tours of the new premises, guests were able to learn more about the processes and modern equipment, which were provided for the work of the pathological team. State Councilor Ludwig Schleritzko described the conclusion of this project as a "milestone" for the university clinic, which underlines the importance that is attached to this new building.

While the work processes and the importance of the pathology for patient care are emphasized, there is hope for further positive changes in the region.
