4. Where can I find additional support if I was discriminated against when seeing a doctor?

If you wish to fight back against discrimination when seeing a doctor, you can also contact the Medical Association or the Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians of your Federal Land.

For more information about your rights as a patient, you can also seek advice from the unabhängige Patientenberatung (independent patient consultation services). At the moment, however, the page is temporarily not available. Until the new Stiftung Unabhängige Patientenberatung Deutschland (German foundation for independent patient consultations) is established, you can contact, for instance, the citizens’ hotline at the Federal Ministry of Health:
