Greeting of the Conference President
I look forward to welcoming you to the 16th Annual Conference of the German Society for Health Economics on March 4 and 5, 2024 at Martin Luther University in Halle. The core topic of the conference "Ethics and Economics in the Healthcare System" is intended to stimulate an interdisciplinary discourse on allocation and financing issues in the healthcare system. The international keynote speeches by bioethicist Prof. Kristina Orfali (Columbia Medical Center, New York) and philosopher and economist Prof. Daniel Hausman (Rutgers University) and a panel discussion on organ donation and transplantation will provide inspiration for this. I am already looking forward to an exciting discussion moderated by Dana Bethkenhagen (Tagesspiegel) on the “Widerspruchsregelung” (Opt-out-system) and much more with Manfred Lucha (Minister for Health Baden-Württemberg), Prof. Dr. med. Matthias Girndt (UK Halle), Prof. Dr. med. Wolfram Henn (Saarland University and German Ethics Council) and the dggö Chairwoman Prof. Dr. Annika Herr (Hanover).
I would further like to take this opportunity to thank Prof. Dr. Hendrik Schmitz (University of Paderborn) for coordinating the review process and putting together an exciting program that you can look forward to!
Prof. Dr. Amelie Wuppermann, Conference president
