Hospitals in Germany Face Bankruptcy Risk

The German Hospital Association (DKG) warns of a troubling situation in the German healthcare system. According to DKG, every second hospital in Germany could go bankrupt if Health Minister Nina Warken's current savings package is implemented as it stands.

The DKG describes a grim scenario where not only the financial stability of hospitals is at risk, but also the jobs of thousands of employees. The warnings from DKG come at a time when the healthcare system in Germany is already under pressure.
