Milestone in the Ottakring Clinic: Ready for the shell of trauma surgery!

In a significant step for medical care in Vienna, the shell for trauma surgery at the Ottakring Clinic was completed. This reports press.wien.gv.at .

The wood module building In addition to the existing trauma surgical pavilion, trauma surgery ensures trauma surgery until the new central clinic is completed.

This should be completed by 2040, such as Klinik-ottakring.GESTheit.at supplemented.

planned commissioning and logistics

The construction work encounters lively interest. The tour of the shell by prominent representatives, including health city councilor Peter Hacker and the district manager Stefanie Lamp, is scheduled for July 21, 2025 at 11:00 a.m. Access takes place via the main clinic in Montleartstraße 37, a footpath of about ten minutes to the construction site is required. Media representatives can register at presse@gesundheitsverbund.at to take part in the inspection. According to bauprojekte.Gesundheit.at the construction work is to begin in November 2024 and the commissioning of the new building is planned for 2026 The sustainability of the construction project should be particularly emphasized. The wooden module construction, which is covered by a usable area of 3,130 m², turns out to be environmentally friendly because the wood used comes from sustainable forestry. This construction has already proven itself at the psychiatry pavilion. With around 52,000 outpatient visits to the trauma surgery of the Ottakring Clinic in 2023, the high need for modern and functional space is shown.

the big whole

The modernization program stipulates that the Ottakring Clinic will in future consist of four modern central buildings and a park. The expected conclusion of the medical-surgical center will be sought for 2032, whereby the trauma surgery department is expected to move to the new central building in 2033. The simultaneous renovation of the operating rooms is necessary because the construction technology and refrigeration technology are getting on in years and the trauma surgery is still guaranteed around the clock until the construction measures are carried out in full implementation. This illustrates the critical role of the Ottakring Clinic within the Vienna Health Association.
