Work for Doctors in Germany
Today there is a trend among Ukrainian medical doctors to move out to Germany, due to the influence of the German law on simplifying recognition of foreign education.
A few words about the organization of the health system in Germany.
German health system is considered to be the best in the world, as the cost of treatment (including dental) is completely or nearly completely covered by medical insurance.
The doctor deals only with his own development, which brings the maximum benefit to a patient.
Medical industry is composed of multidisciplinary clinics (medical camps, which combine general and specialized clinics profile, medical centers and research institutes).
Initial reception is completely concentrated in the hands of private physicians. Only a doctor specialist has the right to engage in such practices.
