New construction of the Mühldorf hospital moved again - patients affected!

Mühldorf am Inn, Deutschland - In Mühldorf, the medical facilities are again in focus. Since 2018, the city has been longing for the new building of the hospital. A completion was originally planned at the end of last year. But as Innsalzach24 , the construction work extends again, what for the patient: has significant effects.

clinic manager Stefan Blanke was optimistic about progress in July 2024, but reality looks different. The construction site is currently surrounded by wire fences and all hopes of commissioning will be postponed to August 2025. The total cost of the new building now amounts to 40 million euros - an increase of 2.2 million euros compared to the original estimate.

new challenges for patient care

In addition, the closure of pain therapy in the Innklinikum puts a strain on the situation. The department has been active since mid -2021 and offered treatments guided by 21 employees. Now many patients have to use alternative supply options, which further intensifies uncertainty in health care. According to ovb , the closures are accompanied by a deficit at the Inn Clinic, which was in 2023 at 34 million euros while In 2024 a reduction was sought to 28.6 million euros. The districts of Mühldorf and Altötting are responsible for covering the deficit.

A high -quality health care for people in the region is a must. However, the structural challenges are particularly evident in rural areas, as well as the Federal Center for Political Education . There are initiatives for improvement, but stays in specialized facilities are often associated with long travel paths. Older and multimorbid patients in particular suffer from the inadequate accessibility of medical services.

a way forward?

The clinic investor's strategy includes close cooperation with the clinics in Southeast Bavaria in order to meet minimum requirements and maintain the offer. "We have a good hand," said CEO Thomas Ewald. This should make it clear that there is no merger, but there is a strategic partnership to ensure the quality of care in the region.

The future of the Mühldorf health care is still tense. Planned innovations, such as a modern clinic with special offers in urology, orthopedics and more, are targeted for October 2025, but the pressure on the existing resources remains high. It is to be hoped that these visions will soon become reality and that the people in Mühldorf will finally receive health care they deserve.
