1st Panel in Ulm, thesis summary on subject “Health prevention”

  1. Physical and mental activities and social contacts help to keep healthy.
  2. The local environment must be so organized, so that it contributes to health maintenance of older people (e.g. centre for seniors, sport centers, nature). Here belong also measures that make user-friendly access possible for people with disablements in seeing, hearing, and also in relation to use of the new media.
  3. Prevention is better than cure. Knowledge and individual initiative are needed (healthy diet, exercise, social communication). Health insurance companies should finance prevention measures, e.g. alternative medicine, low priced medicaments.
  4. Health prevention is a responsibility of each individual, but how far is each individual obliged to behave in a health-preserving way?
  5. Prevention starts in childhood!
  6. The financing of our health system. It cannot be that the strongest in a society are freed from the “solidarity principle” of the health insurance companies! Health is an issue of the whole society. (In Germany richer people can pay instead of a state health insurance in private health insurance companies).
