The Kiel and Lübeck locations of the UKSH

The Schleswig-Holstein University Medical Center ( UKSH ) with its locations in Kiel and Lübeck is one of the largest university hospitals in Germany and Europe . It serves to ensure maximum medical care in Schleswig-Holstein.

history

The University Medical Center Schleswig-Holstein emerged from the merger of the University Hospitals Kiel and Lübeck in 2003. The administrative seat of the institution under public law is in Lübeck.

The UKSH is funded by the Christian Albrechts University of Kiel and the University of Lübeck . The students of the medical faculties and the dental faculty (only in Kiel) are trained at the UKSH. At both locations there are training opportunities for medical professions such as B. Nursing and Health Care and MTAs .

The medical faculty in Kiel was one of the founding faculties of the University of Kiel in 1665. Medical facilities have existed on the Lübeck campus since 1912. University medicine in Schleswig-Holstein is associated with researchers such as Friedrich von Esmarch , Hans Gerhard Creutzfeldt and Friedrich Wegener .

Structural renovation of the UKSH

The Schleswig-Holstein state government decided in July 2009 to make extensive investments in modernizing the structural infrastructure on the Kiel and Lübeck campuses. In 2012, the Schleswig-Holstein State Parliament cleared the way for a Europe-wide tender. Specifically, it is about the construction investment and operation for 30 years as well as an innovative financing model. The volume is 1.7 billion euros. The characteristics of the process: The private partner is assigned the planning, construction and operation of the property, the state of Schleswig-Holstein remains the owner.

On September 30, 2014, the University Hospital Schleswig-Holstein and the bidding consortium in Kiel signed the contract for the construction master plan. The BAM / VAMED consortium was awarded the contract . One year after the contract was signed, on September 30, 2015, the foundation stone was laid for the extension of the existing central clinic on the Lübeck campus. In March 2016, the foundation stone was laid for the new hospital of the future on the Kiel campus. The topping-out ceremony was celebrated in Kiel at the end of April 2017. The first patients could be treated in the new building at the beginning of 2019. The topping-out ceremony in Lübeck was planned for September 2017 - the first patients could be treated here at the end of 2019. Interdisciplinary buildings with improved infrastructure were built at both locations.

The aim is to work more efficiently in both central clinics. The state of Schleswig-Holstein participates in the repayment of the old debts. In the course of the new buildings, 450 jobs will be cut and the company collective agreement will be replaced by the collective agreement for the public service of the states . As the new building was delayed, investments in fire protection for old buildings had to be made at the Kiel location, although the plan was to demolish them.

Controversy

Organ transplants

In an ARD Monitor broadcast , the suspicion was expressed that, for economic reasons, livers from organ donors were transplanted to patients from Saudi Arabia for large sums of money, and that organ transplants in Kiel put cash patients at a disadvantage compared to private patients . The accusations against the Kiel doctor have been revoked. The public prosecutor's office was investigating a former employee of the International Department because of a private-professional conflict of interest .

Multi-resistant germs

Acinetobacter baumannii, resistant to four antibiotic groups (4- MRGN ), manifested itself in the Kiel clinic at the turn of the year 2014/2015 . The German Foundation for Patient Protection then demanded initial examinations of the patients based on the Dutch model. Clinic director Scholz was accused of playing down the outbreak and the deaths associated with it. Unionists and former doctors drew attention to a shortage of nurses and cleaning staff. The German Society for Hygiene and Microbiology stated in a statement that such outbreaks are possible even with optimal hygiene. A rational use of antibiotics and consistent outbreak management are therefore fundamentally important in order to minimize the overall risk of infection for patients.

Spying

In February 2019, photographed e-mails that became public caused a sensation in which an external consultant from North Rhine-Westphalia was leaked detailed work processes from a springer who was supposed to uncover alleged deficiencies in the work organization. The employees felt they were being spied on . The staff council complained that the matter had been swept under the table by the internal auditing and legal services of the UKSH.

Overpayment of administrative staff

Despite the tense economic situation, administrative employees were paid far above the collective bargaining agreement. However, after criticism from the state audit office , these were not reduced, but sorted into the highest tariff class, rewarded with allowances and ultimately earned even more. The state parliament FDP accused the supervisory board of not having fulfilled its control function.
