  • Pharmacists seek an increase in fees from 8.35 to 9.50 euros per package, aligned with the 2025 coalition agreement.

  • Operating costs for pharmacies have surged 65% over recent years, yet remuneration has barely changed in over two decades.

  • The decline in pharmacy numbers, including in Leonberg, raises concerns about maintaining essential healthcare infrastructure.

  • Despite nationwide strikes, Baden-Württemberg pharmacies are required to stay open to ensure continuous patient access.
  • We urge the federal government to finally raise the pharmacy fee — exactly as the coalition agreement specifies it in concrete terms. We explicitly welcome that Federal Health Minister Nina Warken also shares this view — after all, the minister has publicly stated on several occasions that she intends to stabilize the pharmacies economically and to set the increased remuneration by regulation.
    — Thomas Preis (ABDA President), speaking about the nationwide pharmacist protest; calling on the government to raise the pharmacy remuneration, referencing the coalition agreement
