Effects of the hospital reform

with a sense of proportion: From 2026 a hospital reform comes into force that will loosen the proof of evidence for funded clinics. The criticism of this is not unjustified, one believes the experts who see the base emergency care as essential for patient care. Even if grants are now also paid for economically stable houses, critics consider the quality criteria to be controlled essential, such as the PKV emphasized.

The funding to 129 -proof clinics nationwide will reach a total of 79 million euros in the coming year - an increase of 18.8 million euros compared to the previous year. The goal of these measures? To guarantee equivalent living conditions, especially in the sparsely populated regions of Germany and maintain basic medical care.

The future grants are based on the number of specialist departments. Clinics with one or two departments receive 500,000 euros, for each additional department the grant increases by 250,000 euros to the upper limit of one million euros. This could also benefit several clinics from a good hand in financial support.

Overall, it can be seen that despite the challenges in the health system, a certain light can be seen on the horizon. Ensuring on -site medical services remains a central task that cannot lose sight of both private and statutory health insurance.
