Dr Joachim Ramming, CEO of MEDICLIN, comments: "We are in a challenging and dynamic environment. The hospital reform is drawing ever closer and is expected to come into force at the turn of the year. We are working intensely on our pioneering ambulatory and digitalisation projects to prepare ourselves for the expected changes in the healthcare market. We will make use of the opportunities arising from the changes." "We look back on a solid first half of 2024.
