Pharma Germany warns of spreading dangerous diseases in Germany
Climate change and travel: new challenges for health care
Climate change and increasing travel are new challenges for health care. Pharma Germany warns of the penetration of the tiger mosquito in southern Germany and the spread of diseases such as Lyme disease and early summer meningoencephalitis (TBE). The association emphasizes the importance of prevention and innovation in health care.
The tiger mosquito, a potential carrier of dengue and chikungunya fever, has already established itself in parts of southern Germany. At the same time, the TBE risk areas spread further, and even the first cases of oropouche fever were diagnosed with returnees from Cuba. It is worrying that most of the TBE sufferers were not sufficiently vaccinated.
Dr. Elmar Kroth, Managing Director of Science at Pharma Germany, appeals to politics to create framework conditions that promote the development of vaccines and treatment methods for tropical diseases. New approaches are urgently needed, especially for diseases such as borreliosis, against which there is no vaccination or a specific active ingredient. The history of malaria in Central Europe shows that changes in the environment and society can have an impact on the spread of diseases.
In view of the current situation, prevention measures must be increased and innovative research approaches have to be implemented. The pharmaceutical industry is ready to make its contribution and to use your know-how in the development of pharmaceuticals and vaccines against life-threatening diseases.
Pharma Germany calls on politics to take measures to promote innovations in health care. The spread of tropical pathogens in Germany is already a reality and requires comprehensive preparation for the health system.
The topic of health care faces new challenges due to climate change and travel. It is important to strengthen prevention and develop innovative solutions to deal with these challenges.
