The German Health Minister Nina Warken has presented plans that will significantly expand the range of products available in pharmacies. The aim is to improve access to healthcare services and offer pharmacies more flexibility. This reform could be particularly important in rural areas, where access to medical services is often limited.
A central aspect of the reform is the introduction of new services in pharmacies. This includes preventive examinations and vaccinations, which were previously only carried out in doctor’s offices. In the future, pharmacies should be able to offer vaccinations against flu, corona and other diseases. This could increase willingness to vaccinate and improve overall health care.
Another important point is the possibility of dispensing certain medications without a doctor’s prescription. This should be possible especially with known long-term medications or with acute, uncomplicated illnesses. This measure could facilitate access to necessary medications and improve patient care.
The reform also provides for pharmacies to be relieved of bureaucratic hurdles. This is intended to give pharmacy teams more time for patient care and increase pharmacy efficiency. The planned changes could also increase the attractiveness of the pharmacy profession and help alleviate the shortage of skilled workers in this area.
Reactions to the reform plans are mixed. While the SPD praises the plans as an important step towards securing the supply of medicines, there is also criticism from medical associations. They fear that the quality of medical care could suffer if pharmacies take on tasks that are traditionally reserved for doctors.
Overall, however, the pharmacy reform could make an important contribution to improving health care in Germany. By expanding services and reducing bureaucracy, pharmacies could play an even more important role in the healthcare system.
