The Health Market Print

The health market expenditure surges steadily. Falling birth rates and higher life expectancy, coupled with an increase in chronic illnesses, have led to the health funds assuming fewer costs for treatment.

Actual reforms in the public health legislation often implicate a dramatic intensifi cation of this trend, which means that the necessary use of innovative aids or promising therapies may become very difficult.

In contrast to this case actual studies are giving objective evidence that the total health care costs could be reduced by billions with the usage of innovative medical technology.

Within this context, rehabilitation can make a decisive contribution towards alleviating cost-related problems in this area:
  • Preventative rehabilitation helps people, including the elderly, to remain healthy and active longer, thus avoiding or delaying the need for nursing care and early retirement.
  • Rehabilitation for professional integration guarantees qualifi ed staff for companies and ongoing contributions for social security funds.
  • Verifi able success within the area of rehabilitation contributes towards reducing the immense costs of long-term nursing care.
  • Rehabilitation supports innovations and is leading to additional cost reductions with contemporary improvement of quality.
It is precisely here that the awareness of all those involved in the health market needs to be intensified:

"Save with rehabilitation and not on rehabilitation!"
