One of the important tasks in the cross-cutting topic of health is to make as much information as possible on health issues equally accessible to everyone in Cologne. This includes information on accessible doctors, facilities and institutions.

 

A major goal of the work is to strengthen people with an international family history in their personal responsibility for their health and for preventive measures. At the same time, the aim is to make a long-term contribution to reducing inequalities in terms of health opportunities. The aim is therefore also to enable and facilitate equal access to preventative healthcare services and access to relevant health information. 

 

The integration of people with an international family history into the German healthcare system is intended to promote sustainable participation at a social and societal level in the long term. Here you will find further links on the subject of health.
