Wave of disease rolls into: Record disease writings in our region!

Ennepe Ruhr, Deutschland - The numbers regarding the sick leave in our region have achieved alarming proportions. According to the AOK, the health experts expect the illnesses to reach a record level by the end of the year. This is a worrying development that affects both employees and employers. As early as the end of August, as many disease -related work failures have been recorded as in the entire previous year. It should be emphasized that the seasonal waves of disease are still imminent in autumn and winter, which indicates that these figures may continue to rise.

The reasons for this increase are diverse. In particular, respiratory diseases contribute significantly to the sick leave. Even the growing number of mental illnesses should not be underestimated, which also complicated the situation. These factors combine and lead to higher sick leave than in the previous year. The AOK observes these trends closely and warns of the possible consequences that they could have for the labor market stability and the health systems.

causes and effects

The effects are not only relevant at an individual level, but also affect the entire society. High sick leave can lead to a loss of productivity in many companies. This means that despite the good economic framework that could be given by other factors, the failure of workers has negative consequences for the economy due to illness.

The AOK emphasizes that the increase in common respiratory diseases is expected in the coming months. These are not unusual during the colder seasons and strongly contribute to the susceptibility of people to be infected. At the same time, the increase in mental illnesses is a serious indication of the need to deal with mental health and the stress factors that are exposed to people in working life. Especially in times when economic uncertainties increase, this aspect is of the greatest importance.

It remains to be seen how the next few months will develop. The AOK has already initiated measures to help the insured in the event of health problems. Nevertheless, the general development of the days of illness is a topic that must be observed seriously both at the regional level and at national level. This situation illustrates the need for increased prevention measures to effectively protect the health of the population.

The exact background to these developments can be found in a current report from the AOK, which offers detailed information about the causes and the current situation. Interested parties also receive a comprehensive overview of the situation in an article by www.radioenneperuhr.de .
