Oldenburg plans third university clinic: advice is right today!

Oldenburg, Deutschland - in Oldenburg is big today: The city plans to create a third university hospital in Lower Saxony, which is equivalent to a historical step. Mayor Jürgen Krogmann (SPD) is behind this project and is optimistic that the city council will agree to the corresponding agreement. The decisive vote takes place at 6 p.m.

The Oldenburg Clinic, which has over 800 plan beds and nine specialized centers, has a clear vision for the future: An institutional interweaving with the University of Oldenburg is intended. This is underpinned by an application to the state of Lower Saxony, for which the city is urgently expecting support. The appeal goes clearly to the country: the prerequisites should be created promptly and the proceedings should be completed this year.

important course for medical training

The Council will not only vote on the framework agreement, but also via a newly elaborated statute of the clinic. This regulates responsibilities and participation rights in research and teaching and is therefore a crucial step for future training and networking in the medical landscape. The new framework agreement is based on the original agreement of 2012 when medical studies started in Oldenburg.

currently 120 medical students are approved annually, whereby even 200 study places will be offered from next year. This shows that Oldenburg wants to establish and develop as an important location for medical training. Oldenburg.de underlines the importance of this development for the region.

university clinics - an indispensable building block

In Germany, university clinics are not only training facilities for doctors, but also important research locations in basic medical research, clinical research and care research. Every year, they provide around 1.7 million patients treated in the outpatient clinics. These clinics have highly qualified staff and the latest medical-technical institutions to treat complex and rare diseases. These aspects illustrate the central role that university clinics play for the medical care of the population. According to Conference of Ministers of Education , an intensive dialogue between different institutions is necessary to improve the framework conditions for university clinics.

If the Council agrees this evening, Oldenburg will submit the application for recognition as the third university hospital in Lower Saxony and as 37th all over Germany. This could not only strengthen the city's healthcare system, but also that of the entire region. It remains to be seen how the decision goes and what effects you will have on medical training and care in Oldenburg.
