“Deeply in your debt”: Lauterbach thanks health workers via video message
The new Federal Minister of Health, Karl Lauterbach, sent a video message to nurses and medical staff. In it he thanks everyone who is and was on duty during the corona pandemic.
Federal Health Minister Karl Lauterbach thanked all health care workers for their work just before Christmas Eve. “Now it is the second Christmas in the pandemic. We had wished it, yes, we had hoped it would turn out differently. But it did not turn out that way,” said the SPD politician in a published on Friday Video message in which he addresses the employees directly. “As dramatic as the situation was last year in the care facilities in particular, we had the hope that the vaccination campaign in the course of the year would help us get out of the pandemic. Unfortunately, that did not happen.” The vaccination gaps are still much too big.

The ongoing pandemic unfortunately also means an ongoing burden for employees in the health care system, for example in hospitals, doctors’ offices, nursing homes or in the health department. “I know exactly how difficult your work is, and I also know what you owe: more than what we can currently offer,” said Lauterbach in the direction of the employees. “I would like to expressly thank you personally very much for the work you have done. Without this work, we would not be able to cope with this challenge.” Lauterbach emphasized: “We are deeply indebted to you.” The extraordinary workload would be perceived by him. “I will do everything I can to improve your working conditions,” announced the minister.
