One in three hospitals in Germany could go bankrupt

The statement was made by Gerald Gaß, chairman of the German Hospital Federation, who noted that cuts to healthcare spending and the health insurance reform proposed by Minister Nina Warken are contributing to this scenario. Germany’s healthcare system has been in a particularly dire situation since 2022, and the situation could now worsen even further.

In particular, maternity wards and pediatric clinics, as well as emergency rooms, will be the hardest hit; many of them will be closed, while the remaining ones will switch from round-the-clock operation to daytime-only service. To avoid this scenario, Gaß proposed subsidizing medical facilities from state budgets.
