Sana Kliniken AG Acquires Muldentalkliniken for One Euro
The financially troubled hospitals in Wurzen and Grimma will be integrated into a regional medical network under new ownership.
- The Kreistag approved the sale of Muldentalkliniken to Sana Kliniken AG with a significant majority vote.
- Sana plans to form a medical network in the Leipzig region, connecting the Grimma and Wurzen facilities with other hospitals in Borna and Zwenkau.
- The sale was deemed necessary as the local government could no longer financially sustain the hospitals without significant subsidies.
- Concerns remain about the lack of guarantees for job security and facility operations, as well as the required exit from the Communal Employer's Association.
- The transition is set to be discussed with the hospital staff in early November, with a target to complete changes by January 2025.
