Pharmacy proposals by Warkens face criticism from the Greens, who view the plans as a potential threat to patient safety
In a statement made via the dts news agency, health policy expert Dahmen has expressed concerns about the potential consequences of a new health policy proposed by Health Minister Nina Warken.
According to Dahmen, the minister's actions could be described as risky quick fixes, with the potential to endanger patient safety and financially strain progressive insurance companies. The crux of the issue lies in the minister's plan to allow pharmacies to dispense non-prescription medications without a doctor's prescription.
Dahmen warned about the dangers of abandoning the separation between prescription and non-prescription medications, as this could result in perverse incentives. These incentives, Dahmen explained, could worsen the financial strain of united health insurers and potentially compromise patient safety.
In addition to these concerns, Dahmen criticised the minister's health policy as clueless and uncoordinated. This is not the first time Dahmen has spoken out against the minister's policies, highlighting a growing debate in the health sector.
The minister's proposal, if implemented, could have far-reaching implications for the healthcare system. Patients, health insurers, and healthcare professionals will be closely watching developments in this ongoing debate.
