Ukraine receives new hospital - Local council leader defends charitable donation (by AfD)
In a unique act of humanitarian aid, the Medical Care Center (MVZ) in Neuhaus am Rennweg, Southern Thuringia, has donated obsolete furniture to Ukraine. The donation, which includes seven complete patient rooms, was initiated by a member of the Greens and supported by local officials, despite the constant danger of Russian attacks in Ukraine.
The Evangelical Hospital in Altenburg, which is responsible for the humanitarian action, has a long-standing partnership with the Evangelical Hospital in Lviv, Ukraine. The donated furniture will be used in a medical station, although the furniture, which is 30 years old, no longer meets today's medical standards.
The hospital in Neuhaus am Rennweg is set to close on December 6, following concerns and fears expressed by hundreds of people at a special council meeting. The closure has been met with objections from CDU county councilor Daniela Reißmann, but AfD district administrator Robert Sesselmann, who initially had reservations, has since come to support the donation.
The MVZ will save costs through the donation, as the management had previously stated that it would be expensive to dispose of the old furniture. The removal of the beds did not cause any supply gaps for the outpatient center, which is set to be converted into a health center with doctor's practices after the hospital's closure.
It is worth noting that this donation is not related to refugees from Ukraine, but rather a material donation aimed at supporting the Ukrainian healthcare system. As of recently, there were still seven patients being treated at the hospital, and the closure has not been without controversy.
For those seeking detailed, up-to-date information about this donation effort, it is recommended to check local news sources from Neuhaus am Rennweg, official humanitarian channels, or relevant NGOs involved in Ukraine aid.
