SPOTLIGHT HEALTHCARE published several times a year at irregular intervals and deals with the latest topics and challenges in the healthcare system.
Long waiting times for appointments, long distances to the nearest specialist – more and more patients are complaining about this state of affairs.

Or are physicians in Germany unevenly distributed? “Healthcare Fact Check” investigated whether the changes made to the allocation scheme in 2013 have resulted in a needs-based allocation of general practitioners and specialists.
