Rural Doctors Wanted! Healthcare in Rural Areas – Doctor Shortage in Rural Areas Intensifies

On September 25, 2024, at 6 PM, a crucial event on the future of healthcare in Saxony-Anhalt will take place at the Kreisvolkshochschule Weißenfels, Promenade 35-37.

The Political Education Forum of the Konrad Adenauer Foundation invites you to shed light on the alarming shortage of doctors in rural areas and to seek solutions. Saxony-Anhalt is a predominantly rural federal state, with the majority of the population living outside the urban centers of Magdeburg, Halle, and Dessau. What is the state of healthcare provision in rural areas? What challenges and opportunities does Saxony-Anhalt face? What potential does telemedicine offer for rural regions?

Expert Panel: Impulses and Strategies for the Future

The event begins at 6 PM with a welcome from Moritz Lüttich, speaker of the Political Education Forum Saxony-Anhalt. Following this, Elke Simon-Kuch, member of the state parliament (MdL) and representative of the CDU parliamentary group in the Saxony-Anhalt state parliament, will address the participants with a greeting.

The professional discussion will be initiated by Prof. Dr. Edgar Strauch, Chief Executive Officer of the Medical Association of Saxony-Anhalt, with a keynote lecture titled “Rural Doctors Wanted! – Healthcare in Rural Areas.”

Discussion: Challenges and Opportunities

After the lecture, a moderated discussion will take place, led by Dr. Franz Kadell, former government spokesperson and longtime editor-in-chief of the “Volksstimme.” The discussion will focus on various strategies and approaches to ensure medical care in rural areas. High-profile experts will participate in the discussion:

Elke Simon-Kuch, MdL and CDU politician, who has been advocating for improving healthcare in rural areas for years
Dr. Ina Treu, Public Health Officer of the Burgenland district, who assesses the situation from the perspective of regional health authorities
Prof. Dr. Edgar Strauch, Chief Executive Officer of the Medical Association of Saxony-Anhalt, who brings in the doctors’ perspective
Angret Neubauer, Managing Director of the SRH Clinic Burgenland district, representing the hospital sector and its role in regional healthcare
Mandy Schwabe, doctor from Lützen, reporting firsthand on the everyday challenges rural doctors face in their work

Telemedicine: Hope or Mere Token?

One topic of discussion will be the role of telemedicine. Digital patient care could provide short-term relief by replacing home visits and long travel distances. However, the introduction of such technologies faces limits: Not every elderly person in rural areas can or wants to use digital health services. Furthermore, telemedicine cannot replace personal conversations with doctors or thorough physical examinations.

Invitation to Attend Onsite or Online

The event aims to provide insights into the most pressing questions about healthcare provision in rural Saxony-Anhalt. As onsite seats are limited, early registration is requested. Registrations are possible until September 25, 2024, at 12 PM.
