Mainz - A so-called state framework agreement for prevention and health promotion applies to Rhineland-Palatinate with immediate effect. The signatories are the statutory health insurances, the pension, long-term care and accident insurance as well as that of the federal state.

The health insurance companies provide funds totaling more than 23 million euros. The basis of the agreement is the nationwide prevention law from last year. The new agreement specifies it for the regions in Rhineland-Palatinate.
The prevention measures are intended to benefit in particular people who have an increased need for prevention measures due to special life situations or multiple burdens, for example in work, family, home care or voluntary work to have. People should be supported directly in their living environment, that is, in the municipalities, companies, day-care centers and schools.
