Health: Königsberger-Ludwig Against Benefit Cuts

Health State Secretary Ulrike Königsberger-Ludwig does not want to "talk about service cuts" in medical care. Instead, she wants to "strengthen trust in the public health system," she said on Sunday in the ORF's "ZiB2". Even if health insurance funds have to save, the quality of treatment should not decrease. Königsberger-Ludwig wants to expand prevention and better "guide" patients.

Guidance in the system - whether people go to a hospital or a doctor's office - is one of the central issues in the government program. Services should be offered where they are best suited, according to the State Secretary. One means to achieve this is the health hotline 1450, which is to be expanded.

Königsberger-Ludwig on Vaccinations

Königsberger-Ludwig is convinced that vaccinations are among the "most important preventive measures". She also wants to convince the population of this - with "truth and educational work".
