New rescue station in Brieselang: safety for 162,000 citizens!

Something is happening in the area of ​​emergency care in the Havelland region. The district has announced the construction of a new rescue station in Brieselang. The location will be built on Karl-Marx-Straße near the well-known “schwarzer Netto”. These new premises will provide space for two ambulances (RTW) and are intended to ensure a significant improvement in medical care for the citizens of Brieselang. The district council has already approved the project, which underlines the high priority given to the project. Michael Koch, district councilor, described the construction as an “important signal for the emergency services in the region”.

So far, the rescue service has been temporarily housed in the fire department building, as the previous location in the administration building RE 80 has been abandoned. Mayor Kathrin Neumann-Riedel sees the decision for the new station as an important step towards strengthening the medical infrastructure in the community. “Well-functioning emergency medical services are of central importance for our common well-being,” says Neumann-Riedel.

The challenge of the emergency services in Havelland

The Havelland region has changed significantly in recent years, which also affects the work of the emergency services. According to the Havelland Clinics The population in the district, which currently stands at around 162,166 inhabitants, has increased in recent years. Forecasts suggest that this number will rise to over 170,000 by 2030. This brings with it new challenges, particularly with regard to the number of deployments. In 2014 there were around 20,281 missions, the number rose to around 23,000 in 2018.

The local rescue service Havelland GmbH (RHG), a subsidiary of the Havelland Kliniken group of companies, has been active since 2011 and provides ground-based emergency rescue and patient transport in accordance with the Brandenburg Emergency Services Act. With 167 full-time rescuers spread across 10 rescue stations, the organization is on duty around the clock. The district is characterized by a high number of commuters and a demographic development that increasingly includes older citizens. Loud Notsan By 2030, almost 32% of the population will be over 65 years old, further increasing pressure on emergency services.

A look into the future

The need for new structures is supported by demographic changes and the increasing number of people in need of care. In order to meet these challenges, not only new premises such as the planned rescue station in Brieselang are required, but also continuous training and qualification of the staff. Havelland must now set the course for an always efficient emergency services landscape in the future.

With the planned changes and investments in the rescue station in Brieselang, the Havelland district is taking an important step towards an improved future for emergency care for its citizens.
