Over 4 billion euros for the modernization of hospitals
The federal government will provide 3 billion euros so that hospitals can invest in modern emergency capacities, digitalization and their IT security.
The federal states are to raise an additional 1.3 billion euros in investment funds. This is stipulated in the draft Hospital Future Act (KHZG) approved by the Federal Cabinet.
Federal Health Minister Jens Spahn (CDU) emphasized at a press conference that the hospitals had done a great job in the Corona crisis and pointed out how important a high-performing healthcare system is.
The KHZG draft law deals on the one hand with investments for modernization and on the other hand with aid to offset the financial consequences of the coronavirus pandemic for hospitals.
The investment will be made in modern emergency response capacities and in better digital infrastructure.
Funding applications can be submitted starting today.
According to the Federal Ministry of Health, the law is expected to come into force in October 2020.
