Health expert and former member of the Bundestag Christine Aschenberg-Dugnus will work on behalf of the Private Health Insurance Association (PKV) to promote better health promotion and prevention in Germany. Announcing this appointment, the Chairman of the PKV Association, Thomas Brahm, stated:
We are delighted to have Christine Aschenberg-Dugnus, a proven health policy expert, on board to support the PKV Association's prevention work. For many years, she has provided decisive impetus to health and long-term care policy as the health policy spokesperson for the FDP parliamentary group and as a member of the Health Committee of the German Bundestag. She combines high professional expertise with a clear understanding of the importance of preventive care, health promotion, and sustainable structures in the healthcare system.
This expertise is particularly important now, as Germany's social security system is under massive pressure due to demographic change. Expenditures are rising rapidly, the need for medical and nursing care is growing, and human resources are becoming increasingly scarce. However, many health policy measures are not sufficiently effective: Unhealthy lifestyles, the increase in chronic diseases, and long periods of care in old age are visible consequences.
Prevention and personal responsibility are the keys to a sustainable healthcare system. Therefore, as the Private Health Insurance Association, we are committed to health-promoting frameworks and programs that create healthier living environments and make a sustainable contribution to the health of our society.
With her experience and her strong conviction that prevention is a lever for improving quality of life and ensuring the long-term financial viability of our healthcare system, Ms. Aschenberg-Dugnus is the ideal candidate. She will visibly strengthen the PKV Association's commitment to prevention and effectively represent our work in Berlin.
