A network failure paralyzes the Mainz University Medical Center.
The care of the patients in the house is guaranteed, new patients are no longer accepted.
The crisis team of the largest clinic in the country is meeting.
Mainz - The Mainz University Medical Center is affected by a comprehensive network failure.
All patients in Rhineland-Palatinate's largest hospital, including 54 intensive care patients, could be cared for, a spokeswoman said on Friday morning.
Planned interventions and non-urgent outpatient treatments would be postponed.
The serious network failure occurred around 5 a.m. and the house's crisis team was called together.
All electronic network systems such as patient documentation and imaging are affected.
The spokeswoman explained that the control centers in Mainz and Wiesbaden as well as surrounding hospitals had been informed.
The university medical center initially opted out of emergency treatment.
Patients for whom procedures were planned at a university medical clinic were asked to contact the respective clinic by telephone.
The spokeswoman said we are working hard to find the cause of the failure.
