The German Institute of Health Legislation (DIGR) was founded in Berlin in March 2006 as a competence centre in the value system of the health constitution to promote the well-being of patients and an efficient health care system.

DIGR sees itself as an independent academic establishment, characterised by a market-based and liberal approach. Its objective is a free and fair health care system based on partnership. To achieve this aim DIGR is involved in the areas of research, education, consultation and sponsorship of young professionals.

Academic Director: Professor Dr. Helge Sodan
