Lower Saxony is investing 316 million euros in clinics - a revolution!

in Lower Saxony is currently doing a lot in the health sector: Over 316 million euros will flow into the modernization and expansion of clinics in the next few years. The Ministry of Health recently announced this in Hanover and makes it clear that the improvement of regional medical care is at the top of the list. With an extensive investment program that includes a total of 30 construction work, the country shows that it tackles it to optimize the conditions in the hospitals. According to NDR , the money will be invested in new buildings and the technical equipment of the houses.

The largest individual funding of 52 million euros goes to the Delme Clinic in Delmenhorst. Here is a merging with the Josef Hospital Delmenhorst, which is supposed to create promising synergies. In addition, the Ammerland Clinic in Westerstede receives 25 million euros for important new and conversions. The Hanover Clinic in Wunstorf can also look forward to 24 million euros for psychiatry. Smaller but equally important measures include 5 million euros for the construction of the central pharmacy in the Siloah Clinic in Hanover and 2 million euros for the expansion of the child and adolescent psychiatric intensive care unit in Osnabrück.

important impulses for regional care

The new emergency room in the St. Elisabeth Hospital in Damme is funded with 6 million euros, which could bring a significant improvement for the people in the Vechta district. The aim of these extensive investments is the most complete and effective medical care in the entire region. In order for the money to be used correctly, there are demands for a precise examination of the occupancy of the clinics, as can be heard from the ranks of the ministry.
like The SPD Lower Saxony reported, another important step has already been taken in this direction: Minister of Health Dr. Andreas Philippi handed over an additional 4 million euros to the Delme Clinic, which is part of a total of 82 million euros for a new building. This measure is expected to cost around 150 million euros by completion in 2027, and it includes numerous disciplines, including radiology and cardiology.

The need for such a new building is seen by regional representatives not only as an impact on improving medical care, but also as a crucial milestone in health care. Philipp's confirmation that the remaining 68 million euros in funding will flow to Delmenhorst gives hope for future -oriented structures in the region.

long -term strategy for better health care

The comprehensive measures are part of a large hospital investment offensive, the Lower Saxony's Social and Health Minister Dr. Andreas Philippi announced in a budget speech. This offensive comprises a total of around 3 billion euros over a period of ten years. This should not only help to master the current challenges in the healthcare system, but also ensure that Lower Saxony continues to be one of the federal states that significantly invests in the care infrastructure. As from the data of the Ärzte Zeitung , around 121 million euros will flow from 2024 to promotion of 2024 annually short -term investment owners and other areas in the hospitals.

The measures that affect both inpatient and outpatient care facilities are intended to ensure that those in need of care are spared high investment costs. The future health policy in Lower Saxony is therefore a real commitment to improve the quality of life of all citizens, and that is a good step in the right direction.
