The data comes from the official health services of pharmacists and the National Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians. But especially when it comes to emergency care, we as a society must also take a look at the challenges. As bundesaerztekammer reports, acute and emergency care suffer from a staff shortage that affects all professional groups, and there are insufficient financial resources available. The BÄK's reform plans aim to further improve emergency services and make them future-proof.

Overall, it shows that, despite all the challenges, Cologne's healthcare is a public good that should be accessible to everyone. If necessary, citizens should not hesitate to use the available services - the contact points in the city are well positioned and ready to help.
