FDP Haßberge: urgent solutions for rural health care required

Knetzgau, Deutschland - In Knetzgau, the FDP district association Haßberge has committed to securing medical care in rural areas during a general meeting. As the main speaker, Andrew Ullmann, former member of the Bundestag of the FDP and health policy speaker, was chosen. In his lecture, he presented the Hospital Servance Act (KHVVVG), which has been the largest structural reform of inpatient care since half a century. The aim of the law is to create a future -proof and needs -based hospital landscape.

In times when the general interest for the population allows unrestricted access to high -quality health services, the situation in rural regions is becoming increasingly problematic. According to the Federal Center for Political Education it is a touching reality that the local population has to make up for fewer health care facilities there. As a result, long journey routes for patients are not uncommon, which means that the implementation of the necessary medical offers is questioned.

flexible solutions required

The FDP district council Bernhard Jilke and doctor Dr. Heinrich Goschenhofer had other participants in the discussion and emphasized how important achievable medical care is for the citizens. Jilke emphasized that travel routes of over 30 minutes can severely affect the feasibility of the supply. In rural areas, special demands on health care must be placed; Flexible solutions are needed that adapt to the regional conditions.

A study by the Robert Bosch Foundation shows that around 11,000 household interfaces could remain vacant in Germany by 2035. Almost 40% of counties are threatened by general practitioners. The aggregation for this are the aging society, a shortage of skilled workers and fewer and fewer country doctors. Problems that are not only due to politics, but also to innovative care concepts that are wearable in the economic sense.

innovative care concepts

The outpatient care, which is mainly carried out in rural regions by home and specialists, psychotherapists, outpatient care services and pharmacies, is constantly under pressure. Innovative approaches such as cooperation between health professions, telemedical offers and mobile health service providers are becoming increasingly important, such as One of the most exciting projects comes from Brandenburg: The Neighborhood Diagnostics aims to relieve the doctors and the specialist staff and offer quick diagnoses on site. With the help of digital platforms, medical data is to be networked and information is to be exchanged between the service providers. Health stations that, for example, process samples and test kits autonomously, could make long journey routes into medical practices.
