The Mental Health Clinic MVZ in Wuppertal is set to close, a decision that will have a profound impact on the lives of many severely ill individuals. Behind every 'case' at the MVZ is a human being who will lose a piece of their foundation with the closure.

The MVZ served as a safe haven for many, providing essential support during challenging times. The closure leaves affected individuals feeling helpless, fearful, and abandoned.

Nicole Moser, in a letter to the editor of a website, has expressed her concerns about the closure. The letter, which can be found on the website of Rundschau, does not make an appeal for action, but it serves as a poignant reminder of the human cost of such organizational decisions.

The decision to close the MVZ is irreversible. The Kassenärztliche Vereinigung Nordrhein (KVNO) did not approve a continuation of the outpatient practice, citing overcapacity in the region. The Evangelische Stiftung Tannenhof, the MVZ’s operator, did not take serious steps to find a successor, and the KVNO’s refusal prevented the continuation.

Mental illnesses require support, stability, and reliability, which the closure of the MVZ will deny. Many individuals may relapse or lose the courage to seek help due to the closure. It is a deep cut in the lives, hope, and chances of recovery for many affected individuals.

An appeal has been made to those responsible to ensure a smooth transition and continued support for affected individuals. It is crucial that those who need help continue to receive it, even in these challenging times.

General notes on the publication are available on the website, and readers can click a link to access the letter. Let's hope that the closure of the MVZ will lead to improved mental health services for all those in need in Wuppertal.
