Kreis Mayen-Koblenz: Challenges for health care

political decisions and their consequences

A brand new renovation concept of the Middle Rhine Community Clinic (GKM) has caused concern in the district of Mayen-Koblenz. The shareholders' meeting has decided extensive changes that were made without the integration of the newly elected bodies and the district administrator. Among other things, these changes include a one-location solution in Koblenz, which questions the future of the locations in Boppard and Naststätten. The planned dismantling of specialist departments in the Mayen Elisabeth Hospital is seen particularly critically.

inadequate consideration of the patient well -being

The health care and the well -being of the patients seem to be in the political decisions of the shareholder representatives, such as the former district administrator Dr. Juicy and the mayor of Koblenz to be employed far behind. These have the requirements of the management consultancy Roland Berger, which mainly emphasized business aspects, without hesitation.

demand for more responsibility

The free voters Mayen-Mittelrhein-Mosel (FWM3) sharply criticize this procedure. In their point of view, political responsibility towards the affected population has not been adequately preserved. They warn that the changes could further tighten the already tense situation of inpatient health care in the region.

health care as a public general provision

With regard to the ongoing renovation measures, the FWM3 formulates an appeal: medical care should be viewed as the task of public services. According to the free voters, both the district as well as the country and the federal government are responsible for providing sufficient means. They argue that there is no financing problem in one of the wealthiest industrialized nations in the world, but a distribution problem in health care.

the look into the future

The persistent challenges in the healthcare system and the negative effects of these decisions could have long -term consequences for the quality of life of people in the region. The FWM3 sees the need to comply with the demands of the citizens to ensure high -quality health care. This is not only a local affair, but also a social question that could significantly influence the sustainability of the region.

conclusion

The current situation relating to the GKM raises questions and asks everyone involved to redefine the priorities. The common good should come to the fore to ensure qualitative medical care that meets the needs of the population. The political debate about health care is not only up to date, but also urgently necessary to develop a sustainable strategy for the future.
