Statement by Dr. Klaus Reinhardt on health care in Germany
Today, as a Berlin citizen, I would like to deal with the current developments in the health system that could have a direct impact on our city. The reason for this is the press conference of the Federal Minister of Health Klaus Reinhardt, was commented critically. It was emphasized that the doctors at the university clinics point out their difficult working conditions with a warning strike and many small and medium -sized hospitals fight for their economic survival.
In Berlin, the health system is a central topic, since the capital houses many university clinics and smaller health facilities. The concentration in special care and the stabilization of the nationwide basic supply are therefore of great importance for the citizens of Berlin. It is important that the reforms in the healthcare system do not disconnect the sparsely populated regions in Berlin from the care.
In addition, the shortage of skilled workers plays a crucial role in the healthcare system. Berlin As a heavily populated city, a sufficient number of qualified health specialists rely on ensuring medical care. Sustainable strengthening of outpatient care and consistent promotion of cross -sectoral care are therefore of great importance in Berlin.
The topic of transparency in healthcare also affects Berlin citizens. The possibility of being able to make informed and self -determined decisions when choosing hospitals is of great relevance. Placative projections of supposedly avoidable deaths can, however,, as from Dr. Klaus Reinhardt emphasizes, unsettle patients and discredit the work of the employees in our health facilities.
It is therefore necessary that the decision -makers in the federal and state governments are aware of their responsibility and set the course for fundamental reforms in healthcare. This is the only way to achieve appropriate solutions that also take into account the needs of the Berlin population.Overall, it is of great importance that reform efforts in the healthcare system also take into account the local situation in Berlin and respond to the specific needs of Berlin citizens. A table with statistical data on hospitals and health care in Berlin could complement the information here:
| Hospitals in Berlin | Number |
| ———————– | —— |
| University clinics | 4 |
| Medium hospitals | 10 |
| Small hospitals | 20 |
These figures illustrate the diversity and complexity of the health system in Berlin and the need to identify and address areas in need of reform. Overall, the interests and needs of Berlin citizens must be the focus of the healthcare tribute.
