After the AKH debacle for the Böhlerians, the pressure on AUVA is increasing. Vienna City Hall is insisting on uninterrupted surgical care in the summer. For the AUVA, this now means a race against time: it has to deliver within two weeks.

Following the failure of the AKH emergency solution for the closed Böhler Hospital (as reported in the "Krone"), AUVA has to get its act together quickly, as the city is insisting on uninterrupted accident care in the summer too. There are three reasons why it has recently become increasingly uncertain whether this is guaranteed. Three reasons within AUVA's area of responsibility.
