Geriatric healthcare developments in Germany
Overview
In Germany, political efforts are underway in the Ilm-Kreis region to improve geriatric medical care. Local political groups, including the SPD-Ilm-Kreis, are advocating for the allocation of the ‘Geriatrie’ service group to the Ilmenau location of the Ilm-Kreis-Kliniken to provide holistic, local treatment for elderly patients.
Additionally, updates regarding medical transport vouchers, or ‘Verordnung einer Krankenbeförderung’, note that these allow patients with limited mobility to have travel costs covered by health insurance when prescribed by a doctor. The specific mode of transport is determined by the patient’s health and mobility requirements.
