In Germany, doctors and chief physicians are predominantly white, non-disabled and socially privileged. Structurally racist job recommendations direct migrants and BIPoC into more precarious jobs in healthcare, such as carers, nurses and service staff. Classist and white privileges in healthcare professions are passed on, keeping medicine an elitist professional field that accumulates power, money and status.
We demand:
- We demand the racist, ableist, sexist and classist structures within healthcare professions must be broken up
- We demand analysis and abolishment of invisible classist entry barriers, such as unpaid internships, high barriers to entry medical studies such as limited student places (N.C.) and expensive equipment
- We demand abolishement of ableist entry barriers such as high performance pressure, incompatible demands and working hours
- We demand quotas and scholarship programs for Black people, People of Colour, Indigenous, Rom:nja and Sinti:zze and disabled people, and other marginalised groups
- We demand simple and easy recognition of professional qualifications from other countries
- We demand reform of healthcare education and curricula
- We demand opportunities for further training and higher qualification to open the way to leading positions for people in medical professions
