The University Medical Center Mainz faces a crucial turn: After years of financial challenges, characterized by high losses, the state of Rhineland-Palatinate has announced extensive measures to improve the economic situation of the clinic. Minister of Health Clemens Hoch expressed himself optimistically about future development.

the financial situation and its importance

Mainz unimedic medicine has suffered massive deficits in recent years that were not the same in other university hospitals in Germany. With a loss of 100 million euros last year, the situation is particularly alarming. "We invested around two million euros in Unimedicine every week last year to maintain patient care," explained Hoch. This not only illustrates the severity of the financial situation, but also the dependence of the clinic on state funds.

Sustainable reforms for reducing costs

In order to remedy these grievances, the Supervisory Board has commissioned the board to determine a concept by the end of the year that aims to reduce the deficit to zero within five years. Highly emphasized the need for a comprehensive approach: "In view of the financial situation, we have to systematically tackle internal challenges," he said, emphasizing the importance of an efficient occupation process for key positions.

New university medical law and structural changes

A new university medical law is supposed to bring unimedic medicine more flexibility. Highly expressed hope that the amendment to the law could come into force before the end of the year. This would not only make it easier to find a new scientific board, but also enable the prompt occupation of a job for the board member Marion Hahn, which must be re -awarded at short notice.

pull together together

The Minister of Health was positive about the newly occupied board and the willingness to cooperate everyone involved. "I am very satisfied with how the board of directors got to work. This is an incredibly thick board," said high, adding that the path to financial stability will be long and challenging.

negative effects on the community

Developments at the University Medical Center Mainz not only affect the clinic itself, but also on the local community. A stable and well -functioning university medicine is crucial for health care in the entire region. Ensuring high -quality patient care depends heavily on the financial health of the facility. Therefore, progress in the implementation of the planned measures is not only for the clinic, but also for the patients of extreme importance.
