The German Health Care System
 |
The German health care system dates back to 1883, when nationwide health insurance became compulsory.
The German health care system has the reputation of being one of the best in the world. Medical facilities are equipped with the latest technology, an extensive network of hospitals and
doctors covers even the remotest areas of Germany. Doctors are highly qualified with a thorough education as well as a high level of qualification amongst medical staff.

Notifiable Disease Surveillance and Practicing Physicians
Primary care physicians in Germany are essential participants in infectious disease surveillance through mandatory reporting.
In 2001, a new infectious disease control law (IfSG) was implemented in Germany. Most diseases are to be reported to the local county (Landkreis) health department from where they are reported by the state (Land) to the national surveillance institute (Robert Koch Institute). The IfSG also introduced national case definitions for notifiable diseases.
The aim of this study was to identify the needs and attitudes of primary care physicians towards public health surveillance.
These issues were investigated in a questionnaire survey among 8,550 randomly sampled physicians in Germany in 2001.
