122nd German Doctors 'Day: Doctors' health is discussed

The upcoming 122nd German Medical Conference in Münster (May 28 to 31, 2019) will focus on the topic of medical health. This has now been decided by the board of the German Medical Association (BÄK). The 2017 Geneva Vow Declaration states that doctors should look after their own health, well-being and abilities in order to provide the highest level of treatment. "We are making the passage from the Geneva Vow the subject and taking an inside look," wrote Dr. med. Gerald Quitterer, President of the Bavarian Medical Association and member of the board of the BÄK, also in the January / February edition of the Bayerischer Ärzteblatt . It is "about the person doctor". Maintaining one's own health should be given different priority. According to Quitterer, at time when all-round medical services are required, it is imperative to talk about what doctors can and must do. may
