Prevention as a Leadership Imperative — Dirk Burghaus at the Petersberg Health Dialogue

As an invited speaker at the prestigious Petersberg Prevention Dialogue, Dirk Burghaus contributed a forward-thinking perspective on healthcare transformation. Speaking among top-level stakeholders from politics, academia, and the health economy, he emphasized the need to move prevention from the periphery to the structural center of care systems.

Burghaus called for a fundamental shift – from reactive repair models to proactive, digitally-enabled, and cross-sectoral prevention infrastructures. His remarks underscored the importance of personal responsibility, long-term investment, and institutional courage. Drawing on his experience in transforming complex organizations, he translated strategy into actionable reform impulses.


“Prevention is not a side issue. It is the leadership question of a modern, solidarity-driven healthcare system — and an investment in our collective future.”
