Rehabilitation in Germany
Due to the progress in medical treatment and changes in lifestyle in the last century, the focus of healthcare has shifted from acute to chronic disease and from cause to impact. Rehabilitation is a specific form of treatment which focuses on the long-term effects of diseases and the prevention or reduction of disability. As a result, it has gained more and more importance in modern healthcare. The main feature of rehabilitation is interdisciplinary teamwork, which aims to achieve, or at least improve, the reintegration of patients into their social and vocational environments.

Almost all health problems have symptoms that can be witnessed in the early stages. A regular checkup helps you to review your overall health and identify and deal with any health issues quickly, helping you to remain healthy.
Advantages of German healthcare
Germany not only has one of the world's leading universal healthcare systems, but also one of the oldest, dating back to Otto von Bismarck's social legislation. Scientific advances, the use of the latest medical equipment and procedures, as well as numerous specialised experts has made Germany a pioneer in this area. The medical care in Germany is one of the best in the world. Internationally, Germany has an above average number of doctors, specialists, dentists, nurses and hospital beds, resulting in a highly efficient medical system. In contrast to many other countries, there is basically no waiting time for medical treatment in Germany.
Costs of treatment in Germany
The average cost of medical treatment in Germany is considerably lower than that of, for example, the USA and Switzerland, while at the same time offering healthcare at a comparable level of quality and expertise. Through the transparent G-DRG system, costs for hospital treatment in Germany are being standardised for similar cases. This cost transparency is often the main reason why patients decide to travel to Germany for treatment.
