Health policy in Germany has significant influence as it largely determines the quality, accessibility, and efficiency of the healthcare system. It results from a complex interplay of actors, including the Federal Government, the states, health insurance companies, doctors, patient representatives, and other interest groups. It faces numerous challenges such as demographic shifts, rising healthcare costs, and digitalization in the health sector. This handbook provides a holistic insight into the core topics of health policy.

Here you will find topics selected in connection with Cultural Foresight, which we recognize as a guide in the sense of a compendium contribution. For aspects of health policy, please consult the section with our Campaigns and Analyses.
