Safe future for Kapfenberg's neurological therapy center!

In the Kapfenberg (NTK) neurological therapy center (NTK), people are helped after serious brain injuries, strokes and diseases such as Wachkoma. This facility is of great importance for the region because it looks after around 10,000 patients annually. After the restructuring of the operator Vamed Care, the future of the NTK was uncertain, but now a contractual syndicate contract between the city of Kapfenberg and Vamed has been concluded. According to Mayor Matthäus Bachernegg, this contract guarantees that the city continues to have a say and the long -term security of the center is therefore guaranteed. Bachernegg emphasized that this was a "big day for Kapfenberg" because the NTK is an indispensable part of health care in Upper Styria. Vamed Care Austria Managing Director Christian Breitfuß confirmed that the perspective for the NTK is now secured in the long term, which brings great relief to employees and patients, such as meinzirk.at reported.

The positive effect of the contract is also evident in the secure preservation of around 250 jobs in the clinic, which is important to Graz and South Burgenland, as
