The Contribution of Migrants to the German Healthcare System."},"content":{"rendered":"<p><strong>A well-functioning healthcare system is essential for a well-functioning society. In its 2022 Annual Report, the Expert Council on Integration and Migration (SVR) concludes that migrants are crucial to the German healthcare system. To ensure that healthcare is equally available to all, irrespective of background or migration history, the sector as a whole must become more responsive to diversity.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Berlin, 13 May 2022.<\/strong> Skilled workers with a migration background are crucial to the German healthcare system. Already today, one in six people working in health and social care was born abroad, while over a quarter of all practising doctors has a migration background \u2013 a trend that is set to continue. \u201cMigrants work at all levels of the healthcare system, whether as doctors, carers for the elderly or as nurses. Without migrants, the German healthcare system would collapse \u2013 and if we didn\u2019t know this before, the coronavirus pandemic has proved it beyond a doubt,\u201d says Chairperson of the SVR, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.svr-migration.de\/en\/members\/prof-dr-petra-bendel\/\">Professor Petra Bendel<\/a><\/strong>. \u201cIn view of the ongoing demographic change in German society, the need for skilled workers in the sector will only continue to grow. This means it is essential to ensure that access for those wishing to work in the sector is simplified and improved in a way that is sustainable in the long term.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Accelerate procedures for recognising qualifications; simplify compensation measures; make recruitment fair<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Skilled workers from abroad who want to work in a regulated profession in Germany must show that their qualifications meet German standards. \u201cMigrants must provide proof of equivalence if they wish to work here. When it comes to health and social care, this is of immense importance to ensure patient safety,\u201d says <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.svr-migration.de\/en\/members\/daniel_thym\/\">Professor Daniel Thym<\/a><\/strong>, Deputy Chairperson of the SVR. \u201cThe success of any recruitment strategy aimed at attracting skilled workers from abroad therefore depends on how recognition procedures are implemented in practice. Migration must be understood as a holistic process in which each individual step is dependent for its success on all the others. We believe that the procedures could be significantly improved. Currently, they are often lengthy, and for migrants going through the process, it is difficult to understand who is responsible for what. Accelerating and simplifying processes further, along with ensuring that they are better aligned, is essential. The authorities involved \u2013 such as German consular services abroad, immigration and recognition authorities and the Federal Employment Agency \u2013 must improve how they work together,\u201d Thym argues.<\/p>\n<p>The SVR also recommends pooling competences in each federal state and making full use of the opportunities offered by a more digitalised administration. Migrants must be able to complete the required compensation measures without unnecessary delays. For this to happen, module-based courses must be expanded in combination with a greater emphasis on (specialist) language training, while recruitment processes should be made as transparent as possible. \u201cThis means that potential recruits to the sector must be provided with comprehensive information before they apply. They also need support in dealing with the authorities, as well as support from their employer,\u201d explains Professor Thym. In this sector, it is especially important that recruitment abroad does not impact negatively on healthcare in the relevant countries of origin. \u201cBilateral agreements could ensure that both sides benefit from this form of migration. We see skills partnerships that promote capacity-building in the country of origin, as well as the destination country, as particularly valuable,\u201d says SVR Chairperson <strong>Petra Bendel<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Promote migration for educational purposes and pay greater attention to integration in the workplace <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To address the skills shortage in the healthcare system in the long term, the SVR recommends stepping up recruitment abroad for training in Germany. \u201cThis has many advantages. It means that fully-trained workers are not recruited away from their country of origin, while migrants who do the whole of their training in Germany avoid lengthy recognition procedures. This can also avoid the transfer problems that can arise with different job profiles and training, while contact to other students makes it easier for foreign students to learn German. This, in turn, facilitates social integration, and thus also integration in the workplace. After all, we don\u2019t just want to attract skilled workers from abroad \u2013 we also want them to stay once they\u2019ve arrived,\u201d explains <strong>Professor Bendel<\/strong>. Health and social care providers recruiting staff from abroad should develop an integration concept and identify staff members who can support the newly-arrived workers.<\/p>\n<p>To retain skilled workers over time, the SVR believes it is essential to improve working conditions in the health and social care sector, particularly in social care. \u201cMigration alone cannot solve the structural shortage of skilled workers in this area,\u201d notes <strong>Professor Bendel<\/strong>. \u201cWe must do more to explore the potential we have here at home in order to attract more people to train for health and social care work \u2013 including people who have migrated to Germany themselves or who come from families with a history of migration. But for this to happen, working conditions must improve. We also need a healthcare system that is more responsive to diversity. This would benefit everyone in Germany.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Diversity-responsive healthcare is good for everyone<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Individual health is mainly influenced by socio-economic factors. Nonetheless, having a \u2018migration background\u2019 can have a negative impact. A history of migration can play a role in health inequality insofar as even today, having a migration background is statistically more likely to be associated with socio-economic disadvantage. The SVR Annual Report identifies other barriers that can prevent equal access to health and social care services, such as language, difficulties in navigating the healthcare system and discrimination. Framework conditions need to be restructured so that healthcare can become more responsive to diversity. In addition, some migrants have only limited access to publicly-funded healthcare. \u201cIt\u2019s true that the vast majority of people in Germany have health insurance,\u201d says <strong>Professor Thym<\/strong>. \u201cBut there are still some exceptions, such as EU citizens whose jobs are precarious. Here it could be useful to expand the availability of advice and support centres (\u2018Clearingstellen\u2019). For asylum seekers and people who are subject to an obligation to leave the country, health insurance cards offer many advantages. They are relatively unbureaucratic, but using them doesn&#8217;t affect the level of benefits available under the Asylum Seekers\u2019 Benefits Act.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The same law also entitles migrants living in Germany without a legal residence status to certain healthcare services. In practice, however, migrants often avoid accessing these for fear of deportation. An amendment to Article 87.1 of the Residence Act could be used to exempt the healthcare sector \u2013 including but not limited to emergency care \u2013 from the duty to inform immigration authorities of relevant information.<\/p>\n<p><strong>More topics in the SVR Annual Report 2022<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A grey area: Foreign workers providing care in the home<\/li>\n<li>Collective accommodation &#8211; a risk factor?
