About 1,000 people demonstrate for preservation of Zuyderland Hospital emergency room
About 1,000 people gathered in Heerlen on Saturday afternoon for a demonstration to preserve the emergency room (ER) and the hospital block of the Zuyderland Hospital in the municipality of Limburg. The hospital wants to restructure the emergency room and the hospital block and move them to Zuyderland in Sittard-Geleen in 2030. According to the hospital, there is no escape from this plan due to the ever-increasing shortage of staff.
