Emergency room in Varel: Does the 24/7 supply remain or not?

Emergency room in Varel: Does the 24/7 supply remain or not?

Varel, Deutschland - The district council faces a decisive vote on the future of the emergency room in the St. Johannes Hospital in Varel. A possible closure decision is in the room, since according to political representatives, too few patients are cared for. But the reality on site speaks a different language. A affected patient reports on unbearable pain and long waiting times - despite the fully occupied emergency room, doctors were missing. Only after intensive threats to turn on the media did she finally get help.

The situation illustrates how urgent the problem is: With a 24/7 emergency intake, many patients in the region, including from surrounding places such as Jade and Jaderberg, could be helped quickly. Instead, telemedical offers seem unrealistic when it comes to acute emergencies such as strokes or serious injuries. The outcry is great: the decision to reduce or even close the emergency room is perceived as irresponsible and inhuman, while the patients in the Varel area urgently need extensive emergency care.
