BKK Federal Association

The Bundesverband der Betriebskrankenkassen is the umbrella organisation of more than 200 German health insurance funds (BKK) and their eight state associations. With over 14.8 million people insured, the BKK is the oldest and third largest form of statutory health insurance in Germany. The long and close working association between the BKK and companies and the great importance of ill health prevention in this type of fund has been - and still is - the reason for numerous initiatives of the BKK Bundesverband in the field of WHP. The BKK concept of WHP focuses on the involvement of workers and stresses the close interaction between behaviour and setting-related prevention. The BKK Bundesverband has also assumed important functions at European level: Since 1990, it has been the Collaborating Centre Partner of the WHO in Europe and in 1995 it became the National Contact Office of the ENWHP in Germany. The secretariat of the ENWHP has been located at the BKK Bundesverband since 1999.
