[Personnel shortages in the healthcare sector-will de-economization solve or exacerbate the problem?]

The healthcare industry has long complained about an acute shortage of skilled workers. Vacancies can often only be filled by skilled workers from abroad. While rural areas are increasingly experiencing a shortage of personnel, many urban centers continue to have an oversupply and a sufficient number of young doctors. Hospitals do not expect the situation to improve in the future. Hospitals are trying to counteract the negative development of the job situation in nursing staff. Government intervention can limit the economically motivated adjustment of resource utilization. The demand for staff will not fall as a result of de-economization.
