Just how many hospitals may still operate, beyond what Lauterbach previously predicted, Warken didn't venture to guess: "Let's see how many hospitals will stay." Crucially, she emphasized the importance of a comprehensive network of healthcare facilities, offering high-quality care in both city centers and rural areas, all with convenient accessibility.
The hospital reform, instigated by Lauterbach, was decided upon last year. Its key components involve the strengthening of hospital specialization and a shift in funding from case-based payments to a system that rewards hospitals for providing and maintaining specific services (Vorhaltepauschalen). The aim of this reform is to enhance hospital efficiency and prevent hospital closures due to financial hardships and subpar care quality.

Science and politics intertwine as the debate continues about the efficiency and accessibility of healthcare facilities.
