Münster leads the ranking: Best city for medical care in Germany!

In a comprehensive study by Deutsche Medz , access to medical care in the 35 largest German cities is analyzed. Fortunately, it shows that Münster achieves the best results in North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW). The city has the third highest density of doctors, with 333 experts per 100,000 inhabitants. This is particularly noteworthy compared to cities like Berlin, which only 254 doctors per 100,000 inhabitants

Münster also offers an above -average medical evaluation of 4.3 and the numbers show that 29 percent of the residents can immediately receive a doctor's appointment. The pharmacy density in Münster is rather moderate with 61 locations, but the study shows that the city achieved 79 out of 100 possible points in the overall assessment of the health system. Other cities with good access to medical care are Berlin, Dresden and Freiburg, while Bonn is also represented in the ranking of the best cities among the top 10

meaning of medical care

The availability of medical care is crucial for health and well -being of the population. Bottlenecks in medical staff and limited resources can make access to treatments difficult. The study not only emphasizes the number of doctors available, but also the reviews of family practices, the proportion of people who immediately receive a doctor's appointment, the assessment of the healthcare system as a whole and the number of pharmacies. Münster stands out as the best city.

There the city also takes 7th place in the ranking of the best household locations, with 72 general practitioners per 100,000 inhabitants. The average grade of the general practitioners in Münster is also 4.3. For comparison: in Nuremberg, which most general practitioners (77) has, the average grade is even 4.5. Munich and Freiburg are also at the forefront, while in other cities, such as Halle (Saale) and Leipzig, different satisfaction.

trend towards online pharmacies

Another interesting aspect that the study illuminates is the trend towards online pharmacies. Dr. Lena Weigel from Deutsche Medz explains that many people, especially younger adults, resort to online services to avoid visits to the doctor. Almost a third (30.1%) of the 18 to 24 year olds did not visit a doctor out of shame.

While Münster shines in many areas, a worrying development shows that a pediatrician practice cannot find a successor in cities like Bielefeld. The deceased doctor's daughter offers to "give away" the practice, which illustrates the problems with medical care in certain regions.

The results of the study not only reflect the strength of Münster, but also open up a comprehensive view of the challenges and changes that take place in outpatient health care in Germany. The data from the structure of the supply also support the further development of patient care and stimulate a profound consideration of the outpatient supply landscape. The need to reduce barriers and to ensure access for all people remains a central challenge in German health policy.
