We develop concepts and bring together people from all areas of care who value cooperation for an efficient, solidarity-based and patient-oriented healthcare system of the future.

The far-sightedness of founding a university in 1975 that would promote interdisciplinary research and teaching based on excellent specialist disciplines is clear today. Our globalized society is constantly facing new and increasingly complex questions. The right answers are found where there is close and, above all, interdisciplinary cooperation – such as at the University of Bayreuth.

KlimaDocs are physicians who take more responsibility for climate and environmental protection. The non-profit KlimaDocs e.V. was founded in 2021 by practicing physicians from Cologne, Germany. Climate change, environmental and air pollution are associated with numerous negative health effects. These include respiratory, metabolic, infectious and cardiovascular diseases, as well as allergies and mental illnesses. Physicians therefore have a central role to play in raising awareness of climate and health issues. However, there is often little time during a doctor's appointment to provide comprehensive information on the relationship between climate protection and health: the KlimaDocs therefore make use of patients' waiting time in the waiting room. The association offers doctors' offices and clinics free and appealing information material such as flyers, a video clip for the waiting room TV, appointment cards and awareness posters.

“It is difficult to try and save the world on a voluntary basis when others are destroying it in their full-time roles.” This is the reason that Dr. Eckart von Hirschhausen founded the Healthy Planet – Healthy People Foundation in March 2020. It mobilizes the healthcare system, politics and society to protect the health of the planet and to help shape a future that serves our grandchildren. The aim is to communicate in ways that appeal to the head and the heart. Healthy people can only flourish on a healthy planet.

“Health does not come from pills, surgery or an MRI. Health begins with water to drink, air to breathe, plants to eat, tolerable temperatures, and existing harmoniously together. All of this is at risk due to the climate crisis,” says Dr. Eckart von Hirschhausen.

SBK Siemens company health insurance fund is the largest corporate health insurance company in Germany and is one of the 20 largest statutory health insurance companies. It has personally and committedly advocated for the interests of insured parties for over 100 years. Its obligation towards a sustainable healthcare system is an important focus. Its vision is a health system in which scarce resources are used to bring the greatest possible benefit to the care of people and to leave the smallest possible ecological footprint. SBK believes that fundamental reforms are required to achieve this objective. The following has applied to the healthcare system up to now: the greater the use of resources, the more the increase in profit. The system encourages costly operations, expensive equipment and therefore waste that is harmful to the environment. A cornerstone of the reforms required is to provide other stimuli and promote prevention. By focusing on improving health rather than intervening in illness, it is not only individual suffering that is reduced. The consumption of resources and thus the ecological footprint of the healthcare system can also be significantly decreased. In addition to its political commitment, the SBK is also working to lower its own ecological footprint. It has therefore introduced numerous initiatives such as switching to green electricity, condensing its business space and promoting “Green IT”. SBK is one of the first health insurance companies to publish a climate assessment and a sustainability report.
