The German government needs to take action to combat the shortage of medicines and antipyretics for children. About informs The German magazine Der Spiegel quoted a statement by Heinz Hilgers, Head of Child Protection Agency.
“This is proof of poverty for politics, even medicines and antipyretics for children are not enough anymore. The federal government needs to act immediately and stockpile drugs. And he urgently needs to lay the groundwork so that a situation like this never happens again, if possible,” Hilgers complained.
According to him, children have become the victims most affected by the austerity policy of the health system. Hilgers also called for increasing the capacity of local hospitals to treat younger patients.
“The idea that the market already regulates everything, even when it comes to the health of our children, is wrong. “There would be no more reasonable fire protection if we only paid firefighters when they broke out,” he said.
