In addition to the MRI machine at the Potaschberg medical centre in Grevenmacher, there may soon be another in Wiltz.

The Ministers of Health and Social Security, Paulette Lenert and Claude Haagen, have confirmed that an application for the installation of an MRI machine was submitted at the end of December 2022 for the clinic in Wiltz.

However, the ministers have not yet given the green light as there are still some logistics to figure out beforehand. For example, it hasn't been determined whether the equipment would be installed in the clinic itself or in the "Schlasskéier" medical centre, which is still under construction.

If the MRI machine's installation is approved, an agreement would have to be signed with the Centre Hospitalier du Nord, as these are non-hospital activities.

These clarifications were provided by Ministers Lenert and Haagen in response to a parliamentary question from CSV MP Martine Hansen and another from DP MPs Carole Hartmann and André Bauler.
