Frankfurt. In Hesse, 300 domestic subjects are not occupied. “The lack is most clearly in rural areas,” said the CEO of the Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians (KV) Hessen, Frank Datych, the German Press Agency. A statistics of the National Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians from 2024 shows that the general practitioner in the north of the federal state is particularly pronounced. There are a good 3,900 household seats in Hesse. A big problem is a lack of offspring, explains Dastych. In the case of medical professionals from abroad, the comparability of qualifications and inadequate language skills in the way are often in the way. The lack of lack of lack of no or few family doctors, reports the deputy chairman Armin Beck. Some practices work purely psychotherapeutically. “The practices are commercial enterprises. Offering general practitioners can be economically unattractive,” says Beck. A quick solution to the problem is not in sight in Hesse, and the use of artificial intelligence or the profession of “Physician Assistant”, which students can learn at universities, would not reduce the shortage, the KV representatives explain.
