Wetzikon Hospital faces significant financial challenges as creditors have rejected a proposed extension of a 170 million Swiss franc bond due in June 2024. With debts now totaling 285 million francs, the hospital's restructuring plan, which included a 30-35% debt reduction, failed to secure the necessary two-thirds majority. Future meetings will determine contributions from owner municipalities and potential waivers from creditors, while operations continue amidst uncertainty.

Wetzikon Hospital's financial struggles highlight systemic issues in Switzerland's healthcare system, as local politicians and management face scrutiny for overambitious projects. With nearby alternatives available, the decision to potentially rescue the hospital raises questions about the sustainability of such institutions and the future of healthcare funding. This situation serves as a wake-up call for hospitals nationwide to reassess their financial strategies and operational viability.
The GZO's restructuring plan proposes a significant two-thirds write-off of creditor claims, aiming to avoid bankruptcy while addressing a substantial need for depreciation and equity injection. Bondholders express skepticism, as the estimated estate dividend for creditors is only 30-35%, raising concerns about the long-term viability of hospital financing in Switzerland. A decision on the restructuring's suitability will be made by the end of the year, with implications for the broader healthcare financing landscape.
