The Federal Constitutional Court in Karlsruhe is facing a groundbreaking decision that could have far-reaching consequences for the German healthcare system. On November 4th, the court will decide on a complaint that is directed against the triage regulations in the Infection Protection Act. These regulations are particularly relevant in times of pandemics as they determine how medical resources should be distributed in the event of shortages.
The complaint was submitted by 14 intensive care and emergency physicians and is supported by the Marburger Bund medical association. The doctors argue that the triage regulations bring them into insoluble conflicts of conscience. In particular, they criticize the ban on so-called ex-post triage, which prohibits doctors from revising a decision to treat a patient, even if a new patient with better chances of survival is admitted.
Triage, a term that originally comes from the military, describes the prioritization of patients when there are not enough resources available. In practice, this means that doctors must decide which patient to treat first, which can lead to difficult ethical decisions in extreme situations. The current regulation forces doctors to make decisions that contradict their professional ethos because they cannot save the greatest number of lives.
The Federal Constitutional Court’s decision is eagerly awaited as it could not only clarify the legal framework for triage in Germany, but will also have an impact on medical practice and ethical standards in the healthcare system. Medical and legal experts are closely monitoring the case as it has the potential to set a precedent and could influence the future design of the Infection Protection Act.
