Concern about the winter

Ahead of infection season: Children’s Hospital already full!

The cold season hasn't even started yet, and yet the Graz Children's Hospital is already working at full capacity! Clinic director Ernst Eber looks to the winter with concern: Why parents are sleeping on the floor and there won't be a light at the end of the tunnel for another 14 years.

"Krone": Mr. Eber, we are at the start of the infection season. What is the current situation at the children's hospital in Graz?
Ernst Eber: As usual, the number of patients increases one or two weeks after the start of school. We've been feeling it since last weekend. In some cases, we only have one or two free beds on the normal ward in the morning, and there are already over-occupancies. Although it is only September, we are already facing logistical problems.
