The 17 private clinics of the Hirslanden Group are not profitable enough. That is why it is now eliminating almost one in six positions in central government. In concrete terms, this concerns approximately 120 jobs in the Zurich region.
Medical jobs are not affected, as the Tages-Anzeiger reports, but, for example, IT functions. A consultation process has started and employees were informed on Thursday.
The increase in the number of outpatient treatments mainly causes problems in hospitals. Basic insurance rates that do not cover costs are also part of the problem. More than 2,000 doctors work at the Hirslanden Group. In 2023, approximately 52 percent of patients had basic insurance, plus 27.5 percent semi-private insurance and 20.8 percent private insurance.
