Das deutsche Gesundheitssystem zählt immer noch zu den besten auf der Welt – nicht aber zu den am einfachsten verständlichen. Nicht nur für Menschen, die gerade erst nach Deutschland gekommen sind oder noch nicht lange hier leben, ist es oft schwer zu überblicken, wie genau es funktioniert und... wie man sich darin am besten zurechtfindet.
Schon die Frage, ob und wie man sich krankenversichern kann, ist schwierig zu beantworten. An wen kann man sich wenden, wenn man selbst oder ein Familienmitglied krank ist? Geht man zürst zu einem Arzt oder lieber direkt ins Krankenhaus? Und wenn zum Arzt, zu welchem eigentlich? Warum ist Gesundheitsvorsorge so wichtig und welche Vorsorge- und Früherkennungsuntersuchungen sind sinnvoll und sollten unbedingt wahrgenommen werden? Auf welche Unterstützungsleistungen der Pflegeversicherung besteht ein Anspruch?

UNAIDS 2016 / Meeting Report
22nd edition
The purpose of the SAHR has always been to analyse and assess progress and challenges in key areas of the health system, and to propose recommendations for improvement.
