Why have we missed the train of digitalization and value-based principles in health care? Any other industry has long recognized that customer focus is the holy grail to success. But, in health care, why have we so terribly lost focus on our ultimate customer - the patient?

Regierungen und Reiche profitieren von der Corona-Krise. Sie haben mehr Macht und Geld, predigen Moral, aber sie lösen die Krise nicht. Im Gegenteil: Corona stellt den sozialen Sprengsatz scharf, der die Spaltung der Gesellschaft durch Verschuldung, Ausgrenzung und Verteilungskonflikte um Impfstoff weiter vorantreibt. Hans-Christian Lange, Ex-Kanzleramtsberater und BMW-Manager, der 2016 mit "SOCIAL PEACE" die erste Band- und Leiharbeitergewerkschaft gründete, sagt den Macht- und Geldeliten in seinem Neuen Buch den Kampf an.
