Since then, the Bavarian State Ministry of Health, Care and Prevention stands for what people want most: Health and quality of life – in every phase of life and into old age. The following questions are at the forefront:
- How do I stay healthy as long as possible?
- How do I get the best possible care when I am sick?
and
- How can I grow old with dignity?
People and their needs are always central to the health and care policies for Bavaria.
Therefore, prevention and health promotion is a high priority, which is laid out in our health initiative and in the Bavarian prevention plan.
Another important goal of the Bavarian health policy is to ensure comprehensive quality care. Examples here are
- Continuous investment cost funding via the annual hospital construction program,
- the successful programs
- the establishment funding of physicians (male and female) in rural areas and
- funding of regional cooperation in the health sector (health regionsplus)
An integral part of Bavarian health policy is also the expansion of palliative medical care and hospice care structures.
In addition, the framework for human care is an important concern. For this, the Bavarian Care Ministry funds example specialist agencies for caregiving relatives and is committed to making the nursing profession more attractive.
Furthermore, the Bavarian State Ministry of Health, Care and Prevention, as the highest professional authority is responsible for the public health service, for hygiene and infection control as well as for the medicines and pharmacy sector. It is supported by the health authorities and the Bavarian State Office for Health and Food Safety. In addition, the Ministry exercises the legal supervision over the region’s immediate public health insurance companies in Bavaria. The Bavarian State Examination Office for Social Security reviews the efficiency and legality of the administrative actions of the social security agency under the control of the Free State.
People and their needs are the focus of my human and modern public health and care policies for Bavaria. For a good life.
