Small Malaise at Robert Schuman Hospitals as Deputy Director General Steps Down
In a surprising turn of events, Dr. Philippe Turk has resigned from his position as the deputy director general of the “Hôpitaux Robert Schuman” hospital group, which comprises the Kirchberg hospital and the ZithaKlinik. The renowned specialist in gastrointestinal diseases officially stepped down from his role last week, according to information obtained by the “Luxemburger Wort.”
While initial reports stated that an “amicable” agreement had been reached, the hospital group has declined to comment on the matter. As of now, Dr. Turk will continue his work as a specialist at the ZithaKlinik in the capital city. However, at the time of writing, the 61-year-old doctor has not provided any explanation for his resignation.
Dr. Philippe Turk took on the managerial role within the hospital group in March 2014, following the merger of the Fondation François-Elisabeth (Kirchberg Hospital, Clinique Bohler, Clinique Sainte-Marie) and the ZithaKlinik. Prior to his appointment, he served as the director of the ZithaKlinik. The merger aimed to strengthen the range of medical services offered by the private hospital providers and establish a new division of tasks in the national hospital plan.
In a related development, the importance of the ZithaKlinik was confirmed by Parliament in March 2015. The facility was granted approval for modernization and expansion, with the public sector contributing a substantial €55.5 million. During the parliamentary debate, legislators emphasized the significance of retaining the ZithaKlinik’s location in the station district.
It is believed that differences of opinion regarding the division of tasks at various locations within the hospital group may have played a role in Dr. Turk’s departure. As of now, the hospital group has not announced any plans for appointing a new deputy director general.]
