How Germany’s health system depends on Syrian doctors | DW News

From DW News.

Syrians make up the largest group of foreign doctors in Germany. Around 6,000 now live and work here after fleeing the civil war in their homeland. Now after the fall of the Assad regime, the German government wants Syrian doctors to stay, saying their work has become indispensible for the health care system.

For more on this, we talk to Kristine Lütke, member of the Bundestag’s health commitee. She’s from the FDP party.

And we talk to Jens Spahn, member of the Bundestag and the CDU party.
