Meeting of the Viennese City Government: Vienna Invests 3.3 Billion Euros in Hospitals
In accordance with the health theme, the location of the Viennese city government's conference was chosen: the Floridsdorf Clinic. Details about the results were announced in a press conference in the afternoon. Mayor Michael Ludwig (SPÖ) and Deputy Mayor Christoph Wiederkehr (NEOS) as well as Housing and Women's City Councilor Kathrin Gaal and Health City Councilor Peter Hacker (both SPÖ) participated in this.
Vienna plans to expand health care and more nursing staff by 2030
He emphasized that by 2030, around 3.3 billion euros will flow into the modernization of Viennese hospitals. Furthermore, at least 29 regional health centers are to be established by then, which should improve outpatient care. According to Hacker, 18 of these will become primary care centers. Furthermore, by 2030, more than 16,000 nursing staff are to be trained. Vienna will therefore be able to cover the additional demand here through its own efforts, the department head was confident. However, there was an urgent call - from the federal government responsible for this - to intensify the training of doctors. This is also important because many doctors would retire in the coming years, he emphasized.
