Germany's healthcare reforms have been particularly damaging for paediatric care, while medical professions are struggling to attract new entrants due to low pay
After two years of the Covid-19 pandemic, which brought measures like face mask-wearing that shielded the country's youngest from exposure to respiratory viruses, several European countries are seeing a surge in bronchiolitis.
"Finally, after a night in the accident and emergency department, we were able to stay here," said the 33-year-old mother. The situation is particularly bad in 2022 as newborns and infants are exposed to the respiratory syncytial virus , which commonly causes bronchiolitis, for the first time. Many sick children have even had to be transported by helicopter to regions further afield, such as the northeastern state of Mecklenburg-West Pomerania and the coastal state of Lower Saxony.
Germany, with an ageing population and fewer children than even many of its European neighbours, has been investing little in paediatric care, according to Schmidt.Critics say that healthcare reforms aimed at reducing costs have been particularly damaging for paediatric care, while medical professions are struggling to attract new entrants.
