Very difficult to get adequate medical attention on public health care. I dread the day when I’m no longer eligible for empoyer’s health service.
For anyone that needs specific examinations and/or medical operations this ranking is unfortunately all too familiar. For example I had to wait for a year to get a neurosurgical operation in my neck and shoulder for spondylosis(ruptured disk) and arthrosis(a major bone impingement of a large nerve pathway). Mental health treatment and examination queues can be even worse.
This country’s being flushed down the shitter a piece at a time.
Finland is not the place to be right now, the healthcare and education systems are falling apart.
Also, quite a few finns are looking to find work and relocate to other EU-countries.
Hopefully the situation will improve once the Ukrainian war is over, but who knows.
I am not surprised. I rely on private healthcare mostly, only use it when I get very sick especially due to flues and infections.
If you’ve got a flu, broken bone, high bp, a foot fungus, or anything common like that, the healthcare here is fantastic. But if it’s a mental health issue, or something slightly more uncommon, you’re on your own.
Be prepared to meet a lot of doctors, each more overworked and useless than the next, standing in your way when trying to get to a specialist. You either get lucky with a smart doctor, or pay for a private one.
Probably half of these could be solved if people actually tried to take care of themselves
2 years and running with my queue for mental health issues.
I don’t know what’s the source of this stat, but I can tell you it’s total bullshit. Hungary’s healthcare has been in ruins for the past 15 years, I’m 100% sure the numbers are much more dire. Many people I know told of waiting lists for 1.5+ years for essential treatments for serious illnesses in the public sector. Private healthcare is not much better as they’ve been acquired by the cronies of the ruling party and the quality of private healthcare been on a deep dive ever since in the past years.
It’s not financial reasons nor waiting lists, it’s anti-humane government policies that basically suggest doctors dismiss as many complaints as possible and avoid proper investigation of anything.
The stat for Norway is wrong btw.
Knowing from experience.
Why is Norway by itself at the bottom? Did it do something wrong?
