"Who cares? Wen kümmert´s, dass wir uns kümmern?" Filmvorführung und Gespräch

In the organizer's words:

The film "Who Cares?" portrays doctors, midwives and nurses in their daily efforts to care for people from birth to death in such a way that humanity, closeness and warmth are not completely lost despite the strict financial requirements and timings demanded by the system. The observer is expected to do a lot - when a person comes into the world and when a person has to go. The cycle of life is closely interwoven with the experiences that all people have with the health and care system in the course of their lives. The ambivalence of the perspectives - the "caregivers" may themselves be dependent on someone looking after them tomorrow - shows that illness and death, care and frailty, the loss of independence and dependence on helping structures are an inseparable part of our lives.

Following the film, we will discuss with our guest, Martina Henkelmann, first chairwoman of the Hamburg Midwives' Association, among others. Questions will include: How do we want to be cared for? How can working conditions in the care sector be improved? Who takes care of the caregivers? How fair is our society in its treatment of caregivers, but also of the elderly, the sick and pregnant women?
