The statutory health insurance funds stepped up their commitment to health promotion and prevention again in 2021 following the coronavirus-related restrictions. A total of around 538 million euros was spent on a wide range of projects in living environments, workplace health promotion measures and individual prevention courses.

In addition, the long-term care insurance funds supported prevention activities in inpatient care facilities to the tune of 16 million euros. This is according to the latest prevention report from the National Association of Statutory Health Insurance Funds and the Federal Medical Service.
