Finding your way around the German healthcare system is for many people from abroad very difficult, because of the foreign language, the unfamiliar structures and cultural difference in dealing with medical or social questions.
With this link (see below) we would like to help you with the access. Here you will find important information on the topic health insurance coverage, about health services your insurance pays (for example: treatments, therapies, prevention exams, medical devices) or about access to health services (for example: doctors? offices, specialist health-care, inpatient treatment).
The Federal Minister for Labor, Social Affairs, Family and Health set the objective of expanding equal opportunity for health among the population. The advancement of health and equal access to health system offers for migrants is especially close to our heart.
