Background:

The health of rural populations is a growing concern in Germany, as well as in many other countries. Compared to urban areas, rural communities often have higher rates of chronic diseases, lower life expectancy, and reduced access to health care services.

The Health Committee’s public hearing aims to shed light on the challenges faced by rural communities in accessing medical care and explore innovative solutions to improve their health outcomes. The Committee’s findings and recommendations will be used to inform future policy decisions and initiatives aimed at addressing health disparities in rural areas.

Additional Information:

The public hearing will be held in room 3300 of the Paul-Löbe-Haus in Berlin. It will be streamed live on the Bundestag website: www.bundestag.de/mediathek/livestreams.
