Following the explosion of energy costs, and in accordance with the reform of the Minister of Public Health Franck Vandenbroucke on the financing of hospitals, it was decided to accelerate the discussions on the strategic medical plan to be implemented within the Liege Elipse network which must bring together no less than eight institutions. The goal is to develop a common vision of the future.
Synergies have existed between Citadelle and Sart-Tilman for years, particularly through joint services or various equipment purchases. It is now a question of further strengthening their collaboration in order to preserve the quality of patient care.
In the words of a press release, “We are coming out of difficult years due to Covid-19 and the cost of energy does not help knowing that a hospital is very energy-intensive. Thus, in 2021, the energy bill was 3 million euros. In 2022, having managed to block a little bit we are at 5 million. Next year, all things being equal, we are counting on 15 million euros. To this is added the indexation of wages, certainly necessary, which represents from 7 to 8 million more. tomorrow, you will be able to offer a multitude of quality care in all sites, as close as possible to the population, it is more than exciting the adequacy to the expectations and needs of the population, this is the focus of our reflection with the CHU “, says Sylvian Portugalels.
“So we need to create a more efficient model that continues to deliver quality care. “ confirms Marc De Paoli. The two departments show their desire to create a public university center of excellence, of which the patient would be the winner.
