The German Multiple Sclerosis Foundation NRW Takes Over DRK Hospital Asbach's Multiple Sclerosis Centre
The DRK Hospital Asbach's Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Centre, now under the management of the German Multiple Sclerosis Foundation NRW (Deutsche Multiple Sklerose Stiftung NRW), continues to serve as a specialized facility for patients with MS.
Current Operations
The centre functions as an outpatient and consultation facility, offering multidisciplinary care including neurological consultations, therapy, rehabilitation, and patient education. It collaborates with research institutions and participates in clinical studies to advance MS treatment. As a key regional hub for MS patients, it provides personalized treatment plans and support services.
Future Plans
The German MS Foundation NRW has announced plans to expand the centre's therapeutic services, incorporating the latest MS medications and treatment protocols. Outpatient rehabilitation programs are set to be enhanced, aiming to improve patients’ quality of life. The foundation also intends to increase participation in national and international MS research projects.
To maintain state-of-the-art care standards, facilities and medical equipment will be upgraded, and interdisciplinary cooperation between neurologists, therapists, psychologists, and social workers will be strengthened to provide holistic care. The development of telemedicine capabilities will enable the centre to reach patients in more remote areas.
Continued Hospital Operations
The Kamillus Clinic in Asbach, which operates as a hospital separately from the MS Centre, will continue its operations uninterrupted. No reduction in staff is planned for the hospital. Dieter Pöhlau has been appointed as the medical managing director of the Kamillus Clinic.
The German MS Foundation NRW has taken over the operation of the former DRK Hospital in Asbach, with the MS Centre expected to be strengthened under the new operator. The Centre for Multiple Sclerosis will be a focus of the hospital's services under the new management.
