Der verlorene Patient

Appeal for a truly patient-centered medicine! Hospitals and practices have increasingly developed into economic enterprises in recent years – to the detriment of patients and staff. The system is strictly profit-oriented, while at the same time there is a significant waste of human and material resources. Overprovision and scarcity are two sides of the same coin. The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted this under a magnifying glass: on one hand, we are extremely capable, while on the other hand, we are poorly organized and underfunded. Dr. med. Umes Arunagirinathan sounds the alarm. He clearly and authentically identifies the grievances and points out what needs to change – so that the well-being of patients is at the center, not profit.
