There is exciting news in the Ottakring Clinic: The Vienna Health Association has announced the start for an important construction project that will modernize trauma surgery. This development is particularly relevant because trauma surgery is one of the most visited departments in Vienna, which treated around 52,000 outpatient patients in 2023 alone. This not only leads to injuries due to accidents, but also other medical emergencies that require quick and effective care.

The construction work started in November 2024, and at the latest in 2026 the new three -story wooden building with an area of ​​over 3,130 m² is to go into operation. The new facilities include a modernized emergency room, an intensive care unit and a bed station. In addition, the department for plastic surgery is moving into the new premises, which will ensure better care for the patient.

wooden module construction as an innovative solution

A wooden module construction is used for the new building that has already been successfully tested in other projects, such as the new psychiatry pavilion. "It is a flexible and economic solution," explained Herwig Wetzlinger, the deputy general director. The modules are completed outside the building location, which significantly shortens the construction period. In addition, the health network relies on wood from sustainably managed forests to set an example for environmentally friendly building.

A central aspect of the project is to maintain the quality of care during the construction work. As Health City Councilor Peter Hacker emphasized, emergency care is guaranteed around the clock, even during the entire construction process. This ensures that patients continue to receive the necessary help, whether with everyday injuries or serious accidents.

long -term perspectives for the clinic

The project is part of a comprehensive renewal program that is planned by 2040 and will change the entire structure of the Ottakring Clinic. In the future, the clinic will consist of four modern central buildings that are integrated into a spacious park. Patients can look forward to comfortable one and twin rooms, which makes the stays in the clinic more pleasant. Furthermore, long distances will belong to the past.

These progress show that the clinic clearly adversely adversely adversely adopts the requirements of modern medical care. The existing pavilions also work so that outdated structures are modernized. The measures also include the increase in efficiency of processes in order to improve the quality of the treatment for both patients and medical staff.

The entire project is an important step into the future of the Ottakring Clinic, where security and modern medical standards go hand in hand. The combination of new construction and simultaneous renovation will create a comprehensive coordinated environment for the care of trauma surgery patients, and in the middle of an active hospital company. It remains exciting to observe how the project will develop in the coming years and what new opportunities arise for patient -oriented care.
