PEDIATRICIAN'S OFFICES IN CRISIS — No new patients being accepted for older children. Newborns can still be registered. Are you new to Westend? Write to us.

Dear Parents,

Would you like to register your child or teenager at our practice for the first time? We are currently not accepting new older children.

We are very popular, and we want to continue providing you with high-quality care. This is only possible if we have enough time for you. Unfortunately, under the guidelines of the healthcare reform, we are not allowed to expand any further in the future, and the time limits set by statutory health insurers for acute care, consultations, preventive care, and vaccinations are far too short and poorly funded. Specifically, the healthcare reform means we will not be able to fill a medical assistant position, as we anticipate a shortfall of approximately 3,500 euros per month.

Has your baby just been born? Have you just moved to the Berlin-Westend area, and would you like to register your child with us? Please send us an email at kontakt@kinderarztpraxis-am-theo.de.

With warm regards

Your practice team

Pediatricians and Adolescent Medicine Specialists Oppose the Cabinet’s Draft Bill for a Statutory Health Insurance Cost-Cutting Act: Finally, Real Structural Reforms Instead of Austerity Measures That Undermine Healthcare!

Our key demands:

• Genuine structural reforms instead of indiscriminate austerity measures

• Genuine involvement of utility providers in the reform process, rather than token participation

• Structural cost savings combined with improved care through the sensible use of resources and effective management, rather than a two-tier healthcare system resulting from cutting corners

• Tax Funding for Non-Insurance Benefits at Last

Key Demands for the " Pediatrics":

• No backdoor repeal of “debudgeting”: no “fixed-cost degression” and no volume caps!

• No budget allocation for children's preventive care and vaccinations!

• A clear commitment to ensuring outpatient pediatric care through full support for outpatient continuing medical education!
