Hospitals in Saxony are facing existential burdens as a result of the planned federal healthcare reform, according to a media report. "Due to the rapid implementation, we have almost no options for action," said Martin Jonas, commercial director at Chemnitz Hospital, to the "Sächsische Zeitung" and the "Leipziger Volkszeitung".
The clinics have already been cut to the bone over the years. "This is depriving us of our livelihood." According to initial calculations, the new law would deprive Chemnitz Hospital of an additional 12 million euros. This means a total loss of 20 million euros for 2027.
