An initiative of politicians, celebrities, and medical professionals opposes Health Minister Nina Warken's plan to remove homeopathy and anthroposophic medicine from statutory health insurance coverage. The signatories argue these integrative medicine approaches have proven benefits, especially for multiple chronic conditions, geriatric patients, children, and gynecology, and cite WHO strategies supporting complementary medicine integration. Warken maintains that statutory health insurance can only fund evidence-based treatments with scientifically proven benefits, and the removal is projected to save approximately 50 million euros as part of a broader cost-reduction reform.
