Stefan Burgdörfer will be press spokesman for the Federal Association of Pharmaceutical Wholesalers PHAGRO from December 1, 2023. He comes from the health insurance company DAK-Gesundheit, where he was responsible for health policy as a press officer. Stefan Burgdörfer previously worked for many years as an office manager for members of the German Bundestag and for the Konrad Adenauer Foundation, including as head of a foreign office.

“Especially in difficult times, it is important to professionally strengthen our association’s communication. We are happy to have found someone in Stefan Burgdörfer who is very familiar with political processes and health policy issues as well as with all external and internal communication formats,” explains PHAGRO Chairman Marcus Freitag.

According to the chairman of the association, the full-service pharmaceutical wholesaler is in great demand: “Despite sometimes dramatic delivery bottlenecks, we are doing everything we can to maintain the supply of medicines. At the same time, our member companies are struggling to cover the costs because the infrastructure of the full-service pharmaceutical wholesaler has not been adequately funded by law for a long time,” Friday continued.

“Ensuring safe and comprehensive supply is a huge task that poses major challenges for wholesale companies today. What is being done here and what needs to be done to ensure sustainable supply are the central issues of the association that I would like to support with active media and public relations work,” says Stefan Burgdörfer about his new task.
