University Medical Center Mainz: A way out of the red numbers

The University Medical Center Mainz is facing a crucial turn. A comprehensive concept is intended to reduce financial losses that have been incurred for years to zero over the next five years. This is the goal of the supervisory board under the direction of Health Minister Clemens, who is now calling for a clear plan of action.

The financial situation

The university medicine has had to deal with massive financial problems in recent years. In the past, the state of Rhineland-Palatinate repeatedly had to compensate for significant amounts to ensure the continued existence of medical care. Minister highly illustrated that in the past year alone, unimedic medicine needed about two million euros a week to maintain patient care. This presents the state's cash situation and the clinic with an immense challenge.

a joint effort

In order to cope with the financial deficit, the Supervisory Board commissioned the new board to develop a plan. According to Hoch, it is now time to tackle internal challenges and to strengthen cooperation in the team. He is optimistic that the recently appointed board members will have an impact. "This is an incredibly thick board," he emphasizes, while at the same time emphasizing the common motivation.

New laws for better structures

A new university medical law that was recently presented in the state parliament aims to increase the flexibility and efficiency in the occupation of important positions in the clinics. A central component of this law is the new regulation of the selection process for key posts, which will also include the successor to the head of care Marion Hahn. Highly hopes for a rapid adoption of the amendment before the end of the year.

meaning for the region

The financial difficulties of the University Medical Center Mainz not only affect the clinic itself, but also on the entire region. A more stable financial basis would not only improve the quality of medical care, but also optimize the employment situation for doctors and nurses. It is of central importance that unimedic medicine comes back to a positive course to ensure reliable health care.

The coming years will be crucial to stabilize the financial situation of the University Medical Center Mainz. The goal is clear: no more losses and sustainable medical care for the population in Rhineland-Palatinate. The implementation of the plan presented could be an important step in this direction.
