Master plan Prevention: healthy maintenance instead of "repair medicine"
Published on October 1, 2025
There are many individual offers - but a large pension plan for all people in the Free State is missing, says Minister of Health Judith Gerlach (CSU): "Prevention is important because our health system faces major challenges due to error nutrition, lack of movement, but also aging society."So you have to think about how people can stay healthy."So away from repair medicine to more healthy keeping," said Gerlach.
Soul often comes too short in investigations
And that starts with the youngest.Here there are the prescribed physical studies for children and adolescents, but the soul is often neglected, Gerlach warned together with the psychiatric professor Marcel Romanos from the University Hospital Würzburg: "Many children develop stress early on, and then it is important to not make these stress greater, so that children then become mentally ill."
For this reason, training at schools is increasingly offered as part of the now "master plan prevention" in order to better deal with mental stress and to recognize possible depression early.This also applies to the world of work: "Companies and companies in Bavaria have the potential to strengthen the mental health of employees and create health -promoting framework conditions," says the master plan.Training for managers are included.
Free sports offers through the health authorities
The local health offices also receive money for free sports offers in public places - an alternative to expensive gyms.And because awareness is important when it comes to health care, the first Bavaria -wide prevention day starts on October 13th in schools, which is to take place annually from 2026 in companies and authorities.
Since healthy food is as important as physical-soul fitness, the Ministry of Agriculture offers a menu check for all schools.So that the youngest learn that well -prepared vegetables can also taste.
