In many cases, the doctor’s office around the corner remains closed between Christmas and New Year. The “Praxis in Not” campaign protests against the policies of Health Minister Karl Lauterbach. He shows no understanding for the strike.
Who between the years to his doctor’s office If you want to, you could be unlucky: In protest against Federal Minister Karl Lauterbach’s health policy, medical associations have called for general practitioners’ and specialist practices nationwide to be closed between the years. The action planned for Wednesday to Friday is part of the “Praxis in Not” campaign, which is supported by more than 20 associations.
Doctor’s office closed: Karl Lauterbach shows no understanding for strikes
The Virchow Association of resident doctors expects that thousands of practices could remain closed. The practices were called upon to inform their patients about the closure, to refer them to the medical on-call service and to provide representation for urgent emergencies.
The board of the German Patient Protection Foundation, Eugen Brysch, criticized the announced strike because, in his view, it primarily affects old and weak people. Also Minister of Health Lauterbach showed no understanding for the doctors’ strike after Christmas and referred to the many cases of illness. Lauterbach wants to meet with the family doctors at a crisis summit in January to discuss the complained about overload and the amount of bureaucracy in the practices.
