Apply for medical treatment for war victims

As an impaired person (injured person or injured party), you will receive, upon application, medical treatment for health impairments that are recognized as the result of an injury or that have been caused by a recognized consequence of an injury.

  •  

Detailed description

As an injured person, you are entitled to medical treatment for recognized health problems. If you are severely injured, benefits are also granted for non-care-related illnesses if and to the extent that they are not covered by other means (for example, through membership of statutory health insurance). Family members and carers as well as all surviving dependents can receive medical treatment under the same conditions.

The type and scope of benefits generally correspond to those of statutory health insurance.

The treatment includes

  • outpatient medical and dental treatment,
  • Supply of medicines and dressings,
  • Provision of medical treatment including physiotherapy, exercise therapy, speech therapy and occupational therapy as well as spectacle lenses and contact lenses
  • Provision of dentures,
  • Treatment in a hospital
  • Treatment in a rehabilitation facility,
  • Home care,
  • Provision of aids,
  • Stress testing and occupational therapy,
  • non-medical social paediatric services,
  • Psychotherapy as medical and psychotherapeutic treatment and sociotherapy.
