Hesse's Health Minister Proposes Bill to Boost Children's Health
Hesse's Health Minister Diana Stolz has introduced a bill to amend the Hessian Child Health Protection Act. The draft aims to improve the health of children and young people, with a focus on early detection and prevention. The bill is part of the state's 'Action Plan Child Medicine', which is set to be discussed in the next meeting of the Health Pact Hesse.
The Action Plan, led by Minister President Boris Rhein of the CDU, seeks to secure future stationary and outpatient care for children and young people. One key aspect is the voluntary J 1 examination, for which parents of 13 and 14-year-olds will receive letters. This examination supports young people's development, helps diagnose diseases early, and offers HPV vaccination.
The amendment to the Hessian Child Health Protection Act clarifies the inclusion of newborn hearing screening in the Hessian Child Health Centre's tasks. This early detection of inherited hearing impairments enables children to develop to the best of their abilities. The draft bill aims to better protect children and young people from health risks, promoting their healthy upbringing.
The amendment to the Hessian Child Health Protection Act, part of the 'Action Plan Child Medicine', is set to improve the health of Hesse's children and young people. The J 1 examination and newborn hearing screening are key initiatives in this effort, with the support of Minister President Boris Rhein and Health Minister Diana Stolz. The plan will be discussed further in the next meeting of the Health Pact Hesse.
