Today, under pressure from financial cuts and the need for maximum efficiency, they want to communicate how under tight budgets, both treatment and care as well as attention to patients and employees in the spirit of the Gospel can be provided. Such questions will form the central theme of a congress to be held in Duisburg on 20. and 21. The Association represents 270 Protestant hospitals, in which about 100,000 full-time employees care for around 65,000 patients daily. Thus they form about twelve per cent of the total of approximately 2,300 hospitals in Germany.
Protestant hospitals offer treatment and care of the highest standards.
We are also there for those that must live with health limitations. Some things will not get better. This is the point at which company and support is asked for. The Association is expecting about 1,500 participants at the congress, the third of its kind, mainly employees of Protestant hospitals. The German Protestant Hospitals Association, with headquarters in Berlin, belongs as a specialist association to the Social Service Agency of the Evangelical Church in Germany.
