Schön Klinik, a German healthcare provider, has announced that around 100 jobs will be cut at its Vogtareuth site. No timeline for the redundancies has yet been provided.

The restructuring is part of a strategic realignment aimed at reducing costs and improving operational efficiency by outsourcing supply chain and administrative functions to external providers.

Schön Klinik currently employs around 1,300 people at its Vogtareuth facility.
