The big healthcare changes in Germany in 2025
Briefly

From January 15th 2025, individuals in Germany with statutory health insurance will have virtual access to their medical records through the electronic patient file (e-PA), enhancing healthcare accessibility.
The e-patient file aims to make healthcare easier and safer for patients and doctors, showcasing Germany's push towards a more digital-friendly healthcare system.
As of January 2025, dentists in Germany will be prohibited from using amalgam fillings due to environmental concerns tied to mercury, despite a lack of health risks to patients.
Future dental care will shift to self-adhesive fillings like glass ionomer cements to replace amalgam, ensuring statutory health insurance covers dental treatments without extra costs.
