they see the importance of respect 
and transparency, and make sure 
that facilities follow through with

Medications and prescriptions are 
much less common, which follows

with less dependency 
issues (Gaille, 2019)

You can't buy over the counter 
medication, like, Advil, Tylenol,

German healthcare is affordable and seen as one of the 
world's best. It's also interesting to know that the 
German people are so invested in homeopathic natural 
remedies that sometimes even insurance covers 
it. (Caishan, 2019)

It's also common to have therapeutic spa trips covered by 
your health insurance because they believe that 
prevention is just as important as curing. (Caishan, 2019)

Another interesting fact is about Germanys stance on 
nudity, especially as it pertains to medical facilities. It 
is very common to be stark naked sitting in an exam 
room while speaking to your doctor or nurse and no one 
blinks an eye, even while sitting in a hospital hallway you 
can have your cheeks out and no one cares. This relates 
to their Free Body mindset, with nude saunas and 
sunbathing.

Overall Germany is a country that believes in quality 
healthcare, homeopathic medical practices, sickness 
prevention, and client centered care.
