Mayor from Hamburg and Zurich impress in the Floridsdorf Clinic

On Thursday, June 12, 2025, the mayors of Hamburg, Peter Tschentscher, and from Zurich, Corine Mauch, were visited at the Floridsdorf Clinic in Vienna. This exchange took place as part of a city partnership, which focuses on the best possible health care. A tour of the impressive large -scale heat pump in Simmering was also on the program. As Meinbezirk.at was only opened in 2019 and offers space for 718. It is part of the Vienna Health Association, which takes care of the medical care of the population.

In the first months of the year, the clinic's emergency outpatient clinic was able to provide around 24,000 patients - both by self -reporting and by emergency services. This speaks for the high level of acceptance and the trust that the Viennese population puts in their medical care. It is therefore not surprising that the mayors from Hamburg and Zurich were particularly excited about the structure of the Vienna health system. Mayor Ludwig emphasized how important it is to adapt the budgets, infrastructures and the staff to the constantly growing requirements of society.

insights into the modern facilities

During their tour of the clinic, the guests had the opportunity to visit different stations. The training rooms for prospective doctors and a simulation shock room were particularly appreciated. An innovative automatic transport system for laundry and material was presented, which significantly relieves the workforce of the clinic staff. One of the practical aspects of the clinic thesis was an acute patient who was treated during the visit to the emergency room.

The mayor of Zurich, Corine Mauch, was impressed by the modern equipment of the facility and the effective automatic support that is used in the clinic. Hamburg Mayor, Peter Tschentscher, praised the clear health strategy of the city of Vienna and compared it positively to the conditions in Hamburg and Germany.

The future of health care in Vienna

The Viennese city government clearly commensions itself to a public and solidarity -financed healthcare system for all citizens, regardless of age, origin, gender, religion or income. The Vienna Health Association plays a central role in this and is committed to the goal of improving health care and making it accessible to everyone. Innovative approaches such as "Social Prescript" are followed and worked on the special needs of the various population groups.

The constant improvement in health services together with strong focus on prevention, health promotion and the expansion of structured supply offers are further priorities. In addition, a central Viennese health portal, "Vienna Healthy", is being developed in order to provide the citizens with comprehensive information and offers. Digitization is seen as the key to increasing efficiency in healthcare when it comes to developing new technologies and programs.

In the coming years, numerous investments in the medical infrastructure have also been planned, with sustainability special attention. Health research is intended to position Vienna as a leading location in Europe, and the improvement of the patient care and the strengthening of their rights are at the top of the agenda of the Vienna city government. The developments in the Floridsdorf Clinic therefore stand for local progress, but also for a future -oriented and fair health system.
