New government, old habits? The opportunity for a turning point in prevention health policies in Germany is now!
Germany has long lagged behind other high-income countries in terms of implementing evidence-based prevention policies. This is reflected by the relatively low life expectancy of the population, high numbers of non-communicable diseases and health inequality in the country. Against this backdrop, we discuss the initial plans of the new German government for prevention, and suggest a way forward. By shifting from a focus on curative measures to evidence-based, population-level interventions, Germany can improve health outcomes, reduce inequalities, and save costs. Strategic leadership and a coherent national prevention strategy are essential to achieve this transformation.
期刊介绍:
Health Policy is intended to be a vehicle for the exploration and discussion of health policy and health system issues and is aimed in particular at enhancing communication between health policy and system researchers, legislators, decision-makers and professionals concerned with developing, implementing, and analysing health policy, health systems and health care reforms, primarily in high-income countries outside the U.S.A.
