Clinics in the district of Görlitz threatens finance hole of 20 million euros!

Weißwasser, Deutschland - The financial challenges for the clinics in the Görlitz district are sparked. By the end of 2027, a financing hole of up to 20 million euros for the hospitals in Weißwasser, Zittau and Ebersbach threatened. According to Sächsische.de Plant District Administrator Stephan Meyer to provide corresponding liquidation aids for the clinics concerned. The uncertainty about the financing of this aid results from the tense financial situation of the district.

The district council has already extended a ten-million loan originally intended for Weißwasser to the clinics in Zittau and Ebersbach. While the location in Weißwasser stabilizes, it continues to deteriorate in the other two cities, especially with regard to the treatment of the number of patients. There is concern that the clinics are likely to be able to pay back the loan, which could lead to a conversion into grants.

hospital reform and liquidity aid

The situation is also shaped by the upcoming reforms in the healthcare system. The dependence of the 20 million euros required on the details of the hospital reform cannot be denied. At the beginning of the year, the hospital transparency law was confirmed by the Bundestag and Federal Council's mediation committee, and Federal Minister of Health Prof. Karl Lauterbach announced financial aid as part of the reform. A transformation fund of 50 billion euros is intended to help support the hospitals in reorganizing inpatient care. This was reported, among other things, on The implementation of this fund, which is paid for over ten years and half financed by the federal and state governments, could be crucial for the financial stability of the clinics in Görlitz. The affected hospitals can have up to 50% grant -capable costs covered, with some criteria such as economic sustainability and compatibility to be observed with aid law.
