Henning Mast

Henning Mast is a German neurologist and former professor who gained notoriety for his role in the Swiss disability insurance system through his company PMEDA AG, which conducted medical assessments to determine patients' work capabilities. At the center of controversy, Mast faced legal challenges over accusations of fraud and forgery related to his evaluations, which many viewed as overly lenient towards declaring individuals fit for work. The case highlighted broader issues within the Swiss social insurance system, leading to calls for reform and increased scrutiny of medical assessments.
