hospitals - Financial problems of the University Hospital - State seeking solution
The Science Ministry is working quickly to find a viable solution for the financial problems of the Jena University Clinic. By latest early August, there will be further talks with the Finance Ministry. The Ministry also announced that the possibility of the clinic taking out a loan with a state subsidy is being considered.
The Thuringian Parliament will also be involved. The Ministry intends to inform the relevant science committee in its next meeting on August 21st in detail about the current status of affairs. Therefore, a special summit, as suggested by CDU fraction leader Mario Voigt, is not necessary.
Patient care and employee salaries guaranteed
Patient care and teaching and research activities at Thuringia's only university clinic in Jena remained uninterrupted at all times, it was stated. The same applies to employee salaries.
The University Clinic in Jena with 1,400 beds for patient care comprises 32 clinics and polyclinics and more than two dozen research institutes and scientific working groups with a total of nearly 7,000 employees.
The Thuringian State Parliament has shown interest in the financial situation of the BMF, specifically the Jena University Clinic. The Ministry of Finance's consideration of a loan for the clinic with state subsidy was discussed in the Thuringian State Parliament's science committee meeting. The financial problems at the University Hospital in Jena are of significant concern, impacting not only patient care but also the finances of the associated hospitals and University Clinic. The University Clinic in Jena, a crucial part of Thuringia's healthcare system, is facing a substantial financial problem that requires immediate attention from the Finance Ministry and the Thuringian State Parliament.
