Official opening by ÖGK, City of Vienna and Medical Association
Vienna (OTS) – Vienna’s 11th primary care unit (PVE) has been in Vienna’s eleventh district since the beginning of April. PVE can be organized as single-site centers or, as in the current case, as a multi-site primary care network (PVN). With the PVN Simmering, the 40th PVE opens in Austria and at the same time the second network in Vienna. On May 3rd, the doctors of the network invited to the official opening with the system partners, represented by the chairman of the provincial committee of the Austrian Health Insurance Fund (ÖGK) in Vienna, Mario Ferrari, Vienna’s City Councilor for Health Peter Hacker and the Vice President of the Medical Association for Vienna, Erik Randall Huber.
“I am pleased that in Vienna the opportunity is once once more being used to combine several surgeries under the umbrella of a primary care network. This allows the proven advantages of a PVE to be adopted – namely the addition of the offer through interdisciplinary cooperation with the health professions – and thus to guarantee modern care close to home in the private sector,” emphasized Mario Ferrari, Chairman of the Provincial Committee of the ÖGK in Vienna.
City Councilor for Health Peter Hacker also added: “I am happy regarding every new primary care unit. Both patients and the health and social professions involved benefit from the networking and the expansion of the offer beyond general medicine. Like all federal states, we also want to improve health care in the private sector – and such primary care networks are an important step in this direction. We have the common goal of establishing 36 primary care units in Vienna and I am pleased that the ÖGK and the Medical Association are working intensively on the implementation.”
“With the Simmering primary care network, we can build on two existing surgeries that already offer sustainable care for the population. I am all the more pleased that these individual surgeries are now cooperating closely with one another and are further expanding their range of services – for example through cooperation with other health professions,” says Erik Randall Huber, chairman of the curia for resident doctors and vice president of the Vienna Medical Association.
The ordination Dr. Miran Arif under the new name “Doctorum – Center for General Medicine” in Simmeringer Hauptstraße 101 and the ordination Dr. Thomas Freyschlag in Kopalgasse 55/11/1 have joined forces as network partners in order to be able to offer the extended range of primary care services in Simmering. As the third doctor, Dr. Philipp Sabanas in the “Doctorum – Center for General Medicine”. dr Miran Arif is also a specialist in internal medicine and pneumology.
The range of general medicine is supplemented by dietetics, psychotherapy and social work at the PVE Simmering. There are also qualified health and nursing staff. The aim is to offer a low-threshold point of contact for patients who would like to take advantage of the relevant support services and thus promote their health.
