Covid in retro, eHnvs are heading for the future
The red of the 2022 accounts of hospitals in the north of Vaud is less bright than expected. The metamorphosis awaiting them can really begin.
The future Yverdon hospital will be put into operation in two stages: the new hospital will see the light of day in 2031, while the current building will be rebuilt by 2036.
PATRICK MARTIN – A
With a loss of 3.2 million francs rather than the 7.5 million they feared at the start of the financial year, the Northern Vaud Hospital Establishments (eHnv) had a year 2022 less horrible provided that. This loss result was presented Wednesday in the context of a general meeting chaired for the last time by Bertrand Vuilleumier.
“With the end of the Covid and its bleak financial outlook, to which were added the successive departures of the financial director, the deputy general manager, then the general manager, we experienced a first half full of emotions and contrasts” , rewinds the one whose function has now been taken over by Jean-Blaise Wasserfallen.
“In 2022, we recorded stronger than expected inpatient and outpatient activities.”
These circumstances required the interim general management put in place to ensure the proper functioning of the establishment to take a certain number of measures – optimization of the operation of services, concentration of activities on the Saint-Loup site and natural departures uncompensated – which ultimately proved to be effective. “We also recorded stronger than expected hospital and outpatient activities: 193,196 outpatient consultations, 7,832 operations and 957 births,” said interim director Marc Allemann. Enough to suggest a return to balanced budgets by 2025.
New benefits
The 2022 financial year also saw the appearance of new services in the fold of eHnv. Starting with outpatient physiotherapy on the Chamblon site or the establishment of a private service in Yverdon. In Saint-Loup (Pompaples), the eHnv have also returned the Germond Pavilion to the institution of Deaconesses. “But our site is not necessarily already closed, contrary to what too many of the population of this region believe. For example, we have a 24-hour emergency service there, as well as an operating theater which works very well”, continues Marc Allemann.
The fact remains that, unlike Cossonay, whose permanence must remain, Saint-Loup (like Chamblon) is not on the “eHnv of the future” program. With an overall envelope of 400 million francs, this project consists of concentrating all acute care in the region in Yverdon – in a hospital rebuilt and larger in two stages (2031 and 2036) – and grouping the two treatment and rehabilitation centers (CTR) of Chamblon and Orbe in the latter locality, but in a new building to be erected by 2030 in the new district of Gruvatiez-Ouest.
Essential piece at the start of the metamorphosis planned in Yverdon, the 400-space silo car park will know who will carry it out within a few days. The winner of the CTR d’Orbe architectural competition will be announced later this summer.
