91.7 million euros for St. Marien Clinic: Your future starts now!

The health landscape in the Amberg area is facing a significant change: The St. Marien Clinic receives a funding of 91.7 million euros from the Bavarian state government's hospital program. This investment, which wants to contribute to securing a future -proof and near -home medical care, is implemented as part of the ambitious 2030 hospital building program. According to Oberpfalzecho , this program will provide a total of around 5.5 billion euros for various projects in Bavaria.

The latest means are intended for the first phase of the clinic in Amberg and aim at essential structural improvements. In particular, there should be extensions in the children's clinic, the maternity ward, general care and intensive care medicine. A modern insulating station is also set up. This shows once again how the focus is on improving inpatient care in rural areas, says Minister of Health Judith Gerlach.

Large investment package

last Tuesday, on July 8th, the Council of Ministers approved nine new hospital construction projects. The total volume of this initiative amounts to around 466 million euros, with the lion's share investing in clinics outside the metropolitan areas. More than 62 percent of the funding is planned for these locations. Finance Minister Albert Füracker emphasizes the strategic importance of these measures for medical care in rural areas, which are often undersupplied.

The investment in the St. Marien Clinic not only shows that the Bavarian state government will continue to pound on a secure medical care in the future, but also that it has an eye on the needs of the region. Member of the State Parliament Bernhard Heinisch emphasizes how important such investments are for the Amberg region and is also committed to the St. Anna Hospital in Sulzbach-Rosenberg.

future prospects

With the increase in the hospital funding budget from 643 million to 800 million euros last year, a clear signal is set. These measures are essential to sustainably improve the supply structure and at the same time meet the growing requirements of an aging society. The project selection is based on the requirements of the hospital reform and the long -term need for needs. Support is only made for locations that have a secure medical infrastructure.
