Claudia Klimt-Weithaler: KPÖ is committed to maintaining the hospitals in Liezen

The discussion about the hospital infrastructure in the Liezen region has become more intense. The KPÖ top candidate Claudia Klimt-Weithaler has expressed her concerns about the planned “lead hospital”. These plans, which involve a centralized approach to health care in the area, were sharply criticized by her.

Klimt-Weithaler asks whether it really makes sense to reduce or perhaps even abolish the existing three hospitals in the region, which offer broad medical care. Maintaining these facilities is important in order to maintain basic medical care for the population. She fears that concentrating on a single hospital could lead to longer journeys for patients and that local conditions would not be sufficiently taken into account.

Klimt-Weithaler's arguments accompany the debate about future healthcare in the region, which has come into increasing focus in recent months. Many citizens are unsettled and are wondering how the planned changes could affect the quality of healthcare.

A central concern remains widespread access to medical care, which should be maintained in the region. The discussion about the healthcare system has mobilized people and brought different opinions to light. A deeper analysis of the background to these changes can be found in an article by www.meinkreis.at.

The KPÖ will continue to campaign for the preservation of the existing hospitals. More conversations and public discussions will likely take place in the near future to shed light on the different perspectives and find a solution that meets the needs of the community.
