Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania: the government wants to improve health care in rural areas

Schwerin (dpa / mv) - The state government wants to help the municipalities to improve outpatient care in rural areas. "The Ministry of Health is initially funding the development of a nationwide advisory service with up to 1.9 million euros from the European Social Fund (ESF) until the end of 2025," said the Ministry of Health on Friday. Among other things, the settlement of doctors in the country and practice successors should be supported.

According to Health Minister Stefanie Drese (SPD), there are major challenges ahead: "We therefore need innovative projects to support the municipalities in the future development of outpatient healthcare."

According to the information, the Rostock technology company ATI Kueste GmbH is to implement the advice. According to the minister, the company has a great deal of expertise and has already played a key role in setting up the outpatient health center (AGZ) in Friedland.
