Bundesrat criticizes funding in Healthy Heart Act
Berlin (hib/BKL) The Bundesrat has criticized the federal government for not providing sufficient funding for the Healthy Heart Act. In a resolution passed on Friday, the Bundesrat called on the federal government to increase funding for the implementation of the law.
The Healthy Heart Act, which entered into force on January 1, 2023, aims to improve the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases. The law provides for a number of measures, including the establishment of a national cardiovascular disease prevention center, the expansion of screening programs, and the improvement of access to rehabilitation services.
In its resolution, the Bundesrat welcomed the goals of the Healthy Heart Act, but criticized the federal government for not providing sufficient funding for its implementation. The Bundesrat pointed out that the federal government had only provided €20 million for the implementation of the law in 2023, and that this amount was insufficient to cover the costs of the planned measures.
The Bundesrat called on the federal government to increase funding for the Healthy Heart Act to €100 million per year. The Bundesrat also called on the federal government to develop a long-term funding strategy for the law.
The Healthy Heart Act is a major step forward in the fight against cardiovascular diseases. However, the Bundesrat’s criticism of the federal government’s funding for the law is justified. The federal government must provide sufficient funding for the implementation of the law in order to ensure that its goals are achieved.
