The Life Sciences 2024 Global Practice Guide by Chambers and Partners has been published. Encompassing over 20 jurisdictions, this guide offers up-to-date legal insights on a variety of medical related topics. Our partners Dr. Constanze Püschel, Dr. Ulrich Grau and Dr. Tobias Volkwein provide an overview of current trends and developments within the German healthcare system.
Within the guide, the chapter authored by our legal experts presents a thorough analysis of the prevailing landscape in the German life sciences sector. The partners provide an overview of the German healthcare system, the influence of statutory health insurance, digital initiatives and regulatory changes in this area, including the e-prescriptions. The focus is on the financial stability of the healthcare system, developments in the pharmaceutical industry and the impact of (upcoming) legislative amendments such as Financial Stabilisation Act (GKV-Finanzstabilisierungsgesetz), EU directives and regulations, the Medical Research Act (Medizinforschungsgesetz) and other legislative proposals currently under scrutiny.
