As is the case with all other health care systems, the German one is in constant transition. The reasons--such as costly medical innovations, aging population, and lack of overall economic growth--are well known, widely discussed, and not unique to Germany. Although the problems are not unique to Germany, there are some trends in each country which may be of interest to other countries. This contribution provides an update on the German health care system and reports current reform trends.
与所有其他医疗保健系统一样，德国的医疗保健系统也在不断转型。其原因——比如昂贵的医疗创新、人口老龄化以及整体经济增长乏力——是众所周知的，也得到了广泛讨论，并非德国所独有。尽管这些问题并非德国所独有，但每个国家都有一些趋势可能会让其他国家感兴趣。本文介绍了德国医疗保健系统的最新情况，并报告了当前的改革趋势。
