“ Our healthcare system is primarily funded by the solidarity community of health insurance contributors—this is a fundamental pillar of the welfare state. However, in order to maintain and further improve quality, a high level of efficiency is required, and waste must be avoided. This calls for leadership and qualified teamwork. The Health Captains bring together leaders with experience in the healthcare sector and can therefore provide valuable impetus for the necessary analysis and discussion.”
