Pediatricians in danger: critical situation in the Freudenstadt district!

The situation regarding child medical care in the Freudenstadt district is becoming increasingly critical. The FDP member of the Landtag Timm Kern has raised the alarm after the pediatrician Michael Nagel announced that he will only have his practice for private patients in the coming year. This decision leads to a great uncertainty among families who fear that there could be a bottleneck in medical care for children.

Timm Kern pointed out that although the Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians indicates that the district is over -supplied with regard to pediatricians, the reality is completely different. After he had asked the relevant figures, Kern said that basic health care in the district and all over Baden-Württemberg appeared "very critical".

The alarming situation

The official statistics speaks of a degree of supply of over 113 percent for pediatricians in the Freudenstadt district. At first glance, this seems calming. However, if you take a closer look at the number of practicing pediatricians, a worrying reality is revealed. There are only four pediatricians in Horb, four in Freudenstadt and another in Baiersbronn. With the elimination of Dr. Nail will drop this degree of supply drastically.

The hopeless situation that could occur if another doctor and another doctor from Dr. Nagel's practice also close the doors. In this case, only one pediatrician in the entire eastern district would be available. This would lead to a significant undersupply, which would greatly endanger children's health care.

Kern plans to bring more light into this tense situation. He will make a new request to the Ministry of Social Affairs to clarify urgent questions. In particular, he would like to know how health care can be ensured for the families concerned in Horb and the surrounding area. He also plans to focus on the bureaucratic hurdles that Dr. Nagel and certainly also present other doctors with great challenges.

"The bureaucracy in healthcare urgently needs to be dismantled in order to avoid such situation in the future," said Kern, emphasizing that he is expecting solutions from Minister Manfred Lucha. Because the current situation clearly shows that health care in Baden-Württemberg is currently inadequate.

The concern for concern raises questions that not only affect the medical care of children, but also the satisfaction and safety of families in the region. In view of the urgency of the situation, it is crucial that adequate measures are taken to improve the health insurance care and reduce bureaucracy to ensure that the families can continue to trust the necessary medical care in the future.

This problem is not only important locally, but also reflects larger trends regarding medical care in rural areas, which have been criticized again and again in recent years. A complete insight into this topic and the upcoming developments is necessary to find sustainable solutions.
