Euros for Doctors
Only around 19 percent of the amount paid to doctors and health care professionals for fees and conference and travel expenses was published on an individual basis in 2016. The remaining amount was only published as an aggregate sum. For organizations, 62 percent of the total amount was attributed to individual organizations.
Detailed payments to doctors related to studies and non-interventional studies are not published by the pharma companies.

Background
Independent journalism needs independent funding
Others can write stories. We want to reveal. We are the first investigative newsroom in Germany, which is independent, ad-free, and non-profit.
For us, the core of journalism means uncovering injustice and shortcomings in society. That’s why we investigate corruption in the health system, politicians abusing their power, and an elite that believes that rules are for the others.
To do our job, we need people, who support us. We ask you, too, to become a member and enable the work of 16 investigative journalists at CORRECTIV.
We are convinced that without independent and critical media, democracy fought for and won by our ancestors, cannot survive for long.
