It is an open secret that hospitals are suffering from massive cost pressure. Nevertheless, the impending refinancing gap at the GZO Hospital in Wetzikon came as a surprise to everyone. The soon-to-expire loan of 170 million francs cannot be repaid or replaced.
“Although the GZO Hospital is also affected by this problem surrounding the tariffs, it does not have a substantial operational problem, but rather a refinancing bottleneck,” writes the SVP Hinwil district in its statement.
More transparency and quick resolution
According to SVP, timely solutions must be found for the problems at the GZO Hospital. “It is essential to immediately stabilize the hospital, which is in massive difficulties. We therefore demand transparency towards the shareholder communities and the population.”
The previous lack of communication or short-term communication creates open questions for the board of directors. The shareholder communities were only informed about the problem for the first time shortly before the end of the year, the statement continued. “The board of directors, together with the delegates from the shareholder communities, are now obliged to develop implementable proposals within a few weeks in order to secure a further financing package.” All options for seamless continued operation of the hospital and ensuring the completion of the construction must be examined.
