The Future of Health Care: Revitalizing the German system

Among the epoch-defining issues of our time – war and peace, climate change, demographic shifts, and disruptive technologies such as AI – it is clear that our health care system, too, must undergo fundamental transformation. If we cling to old structures, soaring costs and workforce shortages alone will soon push the existing system to its limits. Germany's health care institutions, policymakers, and citizens are now called upon to take pragmatic and effective steps toward revitalizing our health care system – guided by the major drivers of change, yet always within the bounds of what is feasible.

With realistic optimism and decades of experience in health care, the authors outline concrete, achievable steps in a highly practical roadmap supported by more than 70 accessible graphics. Their groundbreaking proposals show how the German health care system can become future-ready while still remaining affordable. The urgency has never been greater.
