title: [Comparison of 2 federal regulation proposals for public health service].
abstract: The provincial governments of the German Laender Niedersachsen (Lower Saxony) and Sachsen-Anhalt (Saxony-Anhalt) both present a modern Act for Public Health Service to replace the 1934 standardisation act. Most important in my opinion is that local Public Health offices are competent to coordinate. The Sachsen-Anhalt bill requires them to hold regional health conferences, to integrate self-help groups in the health sphere or to locate gaps where health care is insufficient. The catalogue of Sachsen-Anhalt concerning Health Aids and Public Health Services is also wider than in Niedersachsen. Both Laender are proceeding in the right direction towards a modern health administration.
