This is no surprise for a citizens. Finnish healthcare is very bad at the moment. Young women are killing themselves because they don’t get easy access to mental health doctors. The queues for dental care are 12-18 months. It is just horrible. The services that was possible because of cheap debt money are closing off. This is a good wake up call for future citizens and governments that never fund your living with debt. Never.
This is what happens when earlier governments buy consultation from US which convince to privatize healthcare in couple of terms in country with excellent history providing for citizens in socially justifed manner for decades.
They’re absolutely right. It is not working at all… I’ve stomach pain since 2017, there’s no doctor who could come up with a diagnosis😔😔😭😭😭💔
And here come the experts in the comments saying how the problems are caused by a single issue (privatization, too much public services, immigrants, drunk Finns, drug addicts, too low wages, too high wages, a specific party, *insert your own*)…
It has worked for me, but only because I had acute pain in my teeth that prevented me from getting sleep.
I’d say it’s the elderly care that’s actually not working. So old lonely people with all sorts of ailments who should be in assisted living or in care homes flock in primary care units and ER, effectively causing queues. As there will be more and more old people and less and less working age people, I don’t see the situation improving in the near future…
Duh.
For the amount of money (health care as a % of GDP) I think it produces excellent outcomes. They just need to stop adding top-heavy bureaucracy and start taking IT projects seriously.
So nice 😆😆😆 so what is happening with the Estonian healthcare system, is it dead?
“The first is to get people off the waiting lists and into care. The second is that we need to recruit more nurses and health and social care professionals,” Orpo said.
Where from?
You couldn’t keep the local nurses on the payroll.
You need good doctors and nurses (which you have maybe pay them a little more), and better management in place for high efficiency
