The Klinikum Peine is a hospital in Peine . The operator of the hospital is the AKH group from Celle .

history

In 1887, the municipal hospital on Sedanstrasse with 10 beds was opened. In 1917 the hospital moved to Sundernstrasse and had 95 beds when it opened. After several expansions to 245 beds in 1928 and 1939, the hospital was transferred to the Peine district in 1958 .

As the buildings and facilities were outdated, the new Hospital was in 1971 south of the Mittellandkanal for 47.7 million Deutschmark built. In 2003 the clinic was sold to the AKH Celle (public legal foundation / responsible for the district of Celle) and has been a 100% subsidiary of AKH Celle since then . The district of Peine only has an advisory seat on the supervisory board.

In the new building, the Peine Clinic had 525 beds. In 2012 the number of beds was reduced to 312.

On October 17, 2018, it was announced that the AKH had generated a loss of 16.5 million euros in 2017. In addition to a misappropriated construction loan of six million euros, which apparently flowed into ongoing business operations, the reasons for the financial disaster were no longer resilient old claims against health insurance companies. The negative effects on the subsidiary Klinikum Peine are considerable. All hospital areas should be put to the test. The district policy is committed to the location of the Peine eGmbH clinic for the first time and reinforces this attitude in each subsequent district council meeting. In view of the problems for operations and jobs and the threat of bankruptcy, the Peiner District Council decided in December 2018 to grant a subsidy of 2 million euros to secure the location. Concrete investigations are to be carried out at short notice, but as early as January 2019, the AKH Celle will for the first time report deep cuts for Peine. Without submission of the test results, it will be announced on February 20, 2019 that the specialist department for women's studies will be closed. It just means that auditors want to get the AKH. Group back on track by downsizing and improving work processes.

The crisis is taking its course and in June 2019 it is expected that the Peiner Kreisag will provide almost 30 million euros for the renovation of the Piener Klinikum. However, the district council still does not have any specific documents, and they do not want to accept a blank check. The district of Celle is annoyed, allegedly takes on this obligation from approx. 16 million euros and on September 27th also resolves an amendment to the statutes and thus the elimination of the advisory board seat of the Peine district. On the same day, the management was commissioned to work with competitors such as B. Helios to negotiate a sale of the clinic.

However, bankruptcy has still not been averted in 2020, which is why remunicipalisation cannot be ruled out. A possible remunicipalisation could take place through the city ​​of Braunschweig , the district of Peine and the Hanover region as an association, but only the city of Braunschweig and the district of Peine are particularly convinced.

In the spring of 2019 the gynecology ward was closed, as a result of which no more births have been carried out. This caused a lot of criticism against the AKH group.

The clinic has its own helipad .

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, a visit ban had to be imposed on March 17th for the first time in the history of the house. Two days later, the management announced in a press statement that a Covid-19 patient was being treated in isolation at the Peine Clinic.

On March 20, 2020, the parent company AKH from Celle filed for bankruptcy for the Peine Clinic.

At the beginning of August 2020, the district and city council of the district and the city of Peine voted for a joint takeover of the clinic. This means that the hospital will become municipal sponsorship on October 1, 2020. The district of Peine has a 70% share and the city of Peine has a 30% stake in the company.
