In the case of Care-Medical Association, Opasparts wants to go from “three-minute medicine”

Doctors would be threatened by social security with more checks, for example with regard to the allocation of MRTs and CTs. The next government has to “resuscitate the health system and the ÖGK, said Medical Association Vice President Naghme Kamaleyan Smith in a broadcast.

In Vienna alone, 54 treasury positions are not currently occupied, 143 others have already been awarded, but not yet “effective” (Stand Jänner). Often an affordable or suitable property for consecration is not immediately found. Moreover, more and more doctors would turn their back on the solidarity system because of the enormous pressure. In Vienna, the number of doctors of health insurance fell by twelve percent, while the number of inhabitants has grown by 16 percent.

More telegenicism, binding control of the patient
As possible reforms, the Medical Association suggests more telegenicism and binding control of patients. Services from the outpatient clinics should be moved to the residents. Structural reforms are also needed to attract contracts for health insurance, more transparency in Ögk financing and a round table with all involved.

“The management of social security has made mistakes and is in our opinion wrong,” said Edgar Wutscher, vice -president of Medical Association. Earlier, Andreas Huss -chairman of the ÖGK said that the regional health insurance company could also go bankrupt and he did not know whether the federal government is planning to prevent preventive measures. The ÖGK currently has a financial gap.

If people in Austria are not healthy, the economy does not work, the chairman of the resident doctors, Dietmar Bayer warned. He regrets that healthcare in the coalition negotiations is only a border problem.
