The district of Rhein-Kreis Neuss is taking significant steps to bolster its emergency medical services, following the closure of the Central Emergency Admission at the Rheinland Clinic in Grevenbroich.

In a notable development, a new rescue station in Juichen has been green-lit, with construction set to commence in 2026 and completion anticipated for 2027. This station will accommodate a second rescue vehicle and the necessary personnel, further strengthening the rescue service in the area.

Simultaneously, the rescue service has been amplified in the Neuss-Mitte and Neuss-Süd regions. In these areas, a patient transport vehicle has been upgraded to an ambulance with paramedics, and an additional rescue vehicle operates 24/7.

The KTW capacity in Grevenbroich, Juichen, and the Neuss-Mitte areas has more than doubled, ensuring a more robust response to emergencies. These developments are all part of the ongoing comprehensive revision of the rescue service demand plan, which aims to compensate for the loss of the Central Emergency Admission in Grevenbroich.

The district council has unanimously approved the partial revision of the rescue service demand plan and the corresponding measures. Notably, as of July 1st, the rescue service in Grevenbroich has been increased from 2.5 to four rescue vehicles in 24-hour operation.

Since the end of December 2024, the rescue service has been gradually increased by a total of 2.5 RTW (Rescue Teams with Vehicles). This gradual enhancement ensures a smooth transition and effective coverage of the district's needs.

In a collaborative effort, the Malteser in Neuss is working closely with the Rhein-Kreis Neuss to strengthen emergency medical services around Grevenbroich and the surrounding area. The Malteser provides 24/7 rescue services and disaster protection support in this region.

These comprehensive measures, spearheaded by District Administrator Hans-Jürgen Petrauschke, are designed to compensate for the closure of the Central Emergency Admission at the Rheinland Clinic in Grevenbroich, ensuring the continued provision of high-quality emergency medical services to the residents of Rhein-Kreis Neuss. The ongoing comprehensive revision of the rescue service demand plan must be completed by the beginning of 2026 and presented to the district politics for further review and approval.
