pharmacy crisis: a discussion about structural reforms and supply deficits

In Germany, numerous pharmacies face existential challenges that affect not only the future of the pharmacists themselves, but also the health care of the population. At the last vision. The high pressure, in particular due to the financial situation of many pharmacies, reveals questions about the future of the health system.

dr. Thomas Müller, head of department in the BMG, expressed clear demands: Honorary adjustments for pharmacists are only considered in connection with comprehensive structural reforms. This statement triggered critical reactions, especially since around 600 pharmacies in Germany have to close again this year. The unchanged fee for the delivery of medicinal products has been an unsolved problem for over two decades.

Minister of Health Karl Lauterbach (SPD) is increasingly being suspended to deliberately ignore the acute care crisis in the pharmacist. In view of the massive wave of closure, the accusation of "extortion" has become loud, which the Podcaster Tom Bellartz and Patrick Hollstein "only renewed" during their discussion in the podcast. They emphasize that the supply deficits are directly due to the failures of politics.

The two podcaster suggest that a moratorium is being set up, during the pharmacist, the statutory health insurance (GKV) and the Ministry should negotiate jointly about the urgently required reforms. In addition, the existing fund for pharmaceutical services, which is filled with over 300 million euros, should be used temporarily to adapt the pharmacists' fees to maintain the pharmaceutical supply until a more comprehensive reform is implemented.

The determination that the coalition is "accepting" the deteriorated health care for citizens is alarming. This raises questions about the responsibility and responsibility of the health authorities, especially in times of crisis in which patient care is at stake.

The debate not only shows the current dissatisfaction within the pharmacists, but also reflects a larger trend: the argument about fair fees and supply security is a central concern of the health industry. The scientists and experts are calling for a rethink to cope with the challenges in healthcare sustainably.

For the listeners of the podcast "only so to know", which offers new insights every Thursday, this discussion brings important information first -hand. Further information on the future conference Vision.A are available on the website of Pharmacy Adhoc.

The current situation of the pharmacies is a call to the urgent reform in order to lay the basis for well -founded health care in Germany. It is to be hoped that the votes from the industry will be heard and are implemented in targeted measures.
