Experts on the changing healthcare system

02. February 2026 – Mandy Weinand

The healthcare system between pressure for reform, bureaucracy and future opportunities

Health is a fundamental right. However, how this right is organised, financed and secured is the subject of intense social debate. The healthcare system in Germany and worldwide faces enormous challenges – and equally enormous opportunities.

Demographic change, a shortage of skilled workers, the growing number of chronic diseases, the digitalisation of medicine and questions of fairness and efficiency call for a fundamental rethink. It is no longer just a matter of treating symptoms – it is about making systems resilient, humane and sustainable.

Our speakers are among the brightest minds when it comes to critically analysing the healthcare system, explaining it in an understandable way and thinking innovatively about its future.

These experts provide impetus for a new healthcare system and an innovative healthcare culture

  • Dr. Johanna Ludwig – specialist physician and digital health innovator. She combines medical expertise with technological vision – and shows how digital solutions can improve care without losing sight of the human aspect.
  • Dr. Sven Jungmann – physician, entrepreneur and thought leader for digital health technologies. He talks about artificial intelligence in healthcare, new care models and the need for courageous innovation in a sluggish system.
  • Dr. Gerd Wirtz – presenter, medical expert and bridge builder between patients, industry and the professional world. With his many years of experience, he makes complex health topics understandable, tangible and entertaining – for every audience.
  • Prof. Dr. Dietrich Grönemeyer – physician, author and advocate of people-centred, integrative medicine. He criticises the economisation of medicine and advocates for a healthcare system that takes prevention, dignity and holism seriously.
  • Dr. Bernd Hufnagl – neuroscientist and expert in brain-friendly working. He talks about the mental health of employees, not only in the healthcare sector, about burnout, excessive demands and how a healthy system also needs healthy employees.

Topics that move our speakers:

  • Healthcare reform: Where is our system heading?
  • Statutory vs. private health insurance – a model with a future?
