Healthcare system - Mainz University Medical Center with a loss of around 114 million euros in 2023
The University Medical Center of Mainz incurred a loss of approximately 113.6 million Euros in the previous year. This loss is slightly lower than previously anticipated, as the University Medical Center announced on Friday. Initially, a deficit of 120 million Euros had been calculated for March.

In 2022, the University Medical Center incurred a loss of 65.1 million Euros. The economic plan for 2024 assumes a deficit of around 107 million Euros. According to the University Medical Center, approximately 58,900 people were treated inpatiently and around 276,000 patients and patients outpatiently in the previous year. Therefore, around 8700 people work for the University Medical Center Mainz.
