Das Bundesinstitut für Pr?vention und Aufkl?rung in der 威尼斯赌博游戏_威尼斯赌博app-【官网】izin (BIPAM) befindet sich derzeit in Gründung. Der Bundesgesundheitsminister erhofft sich dadurch eine St?rkung von Prim?rpr?vention und ?ffentlicher Gesundheit. Ein genauer Zuschnitt des neuen Bundesinstituts ist noch nicht bekannt, die Bundeszentrale für gesundheitliche Aufkl?rung und Teile des Robert-Koch-Instituts sollen jedoch in diesem Institut aufgehen. Damit werden Institutionen der ?ffentlichen Gesundheit in Deutschland neu geordnet. Kritik am geplanten BIPAM selbst kommt aus Institutionen, die von der Neuordnung direkt betroffen sind als auch von Wissenschaftlern, die einen nachhaltigen Public Health-Ansatz vermissen lassen.
In unserer Diskussionsrunde haben wir Statements zu den Pl?nen von zwei Referenten mit ausgewiesener Expertise geh?rt und public-health-ethische und gesundheitsphilosophische Implikationen er?rtert.
