Klinikverbund Mannheim-Heidelberg: Hospital reform brings turning point!

Mannheim, Deutschland - The planned clinic network between Mannheim and Heidelberg could be directed to a new railway due to the recently adopted hospital reform of the Bundestag.

Mannheim's mayor Christian Specht sees this a great opportunity for the aim of the aim of the aim, which is also in national interest, reports the spokeswoman for the Ministry of Science in Stuttgart.

However, the Federal Cartel Office decided against the clinic network in July because it fears more disadvantages for the patients as advantages. The University Hospital Mannheim and Heidelberg lodged a complaint against this decision and have time to present their arguments in court by mid -January. Should the Federal Council agree to the hospital reform on November 22, this could make the appeals of the cartel office. Otherwise, Baden-Württemberg plans to apply for a ministerial license from the Federal Minister of Economics that the cartel office could overlap to enable the network.
