Chamber reform in Saarland: Doctors and dentists demand clear structures!

In Saarland, the Medical Association is faced with a fundamental structural reform, which was primarily launched in response to many years of legal disputes and internal problems. As the Springer-Link there have already been violent clashes within the dentistry on this change, which was driven in the context of the constitution of the law in the healthcare system. The concerns that self -administration suffers from the influence of state supervision continues to be raised. The chairman of the Federal Joint Committee, Josef Hecken, sums it up: the legislative measures represent a undermining of self -government and lead to a growing distance between the base and the management.

The challenges that arise from these reforms are confronted with increasing complexity in dentistry and a lack of qualified staff in the board members. It remains to be seen how these two reform processes actually work in the medical profession and dentists and what effects they will have in the long term on the quality of care and structures in Saarland.
