Our history

When the lack of a German strategy for global health was criticised at the World Health Summit 2011 in Berlin, the idea for RUHEPOL® was born – an independent think tank that connects global, local and individual health issues.

  1. 2011

    World Health Summit Berlin: “Germany is headless”

    At the World Health Summit in Berlin it becomes clear that Germany has no strategy for global health policy and that responsibilities are spread across several ministries. Thomas Junghanss of Heidelberg University Hospital calls for national think tanks and academic centres for global health.

  2. 2011

    Founded as a think tank for global health

    Ruhepol Health Organization was founded in response to the call by the World Health Summit Berlin to establish a think tank in Germany for global health-related projects and strategies. Its founders are Wolfgang F. Mosebach and Gisela Knapp.

  3. 2012

    Nominated for the MSD Health Award

    The RUHEPOL® project for an international health platform, designed to bring together global, local and individual health topics, is nominated for the MSD Gesundheitspreis as one of the 50 most innovative health projects in Germany. In 2014, this international health platform project eventually gave rise to the “medinout world health platform”.

  4. 2012

    Speaker for health professionals at the MSD Forum

    At the 2nd MSD Forum, partners from all areas of healthcare work out concrete steps towards innovative healthcare. As founder and managing director of Germany's first global health think tank and owner of an interdisciplinary medical health centre, Wolfgang F. Mosebach is invited to speak on behalf of the health professions.

  5. Today

    Independent think tank for prevention and health solutions

    Many topics that were still marginal in 2011 now shape healthcare: global health, digital health platforms, prevention and health literacy. RUHEPOL® supports manufacturers, service providers and retailers in healthcare from analysis and market entry strategy to implementation, in analogue and digital healthcare.
