ATHENS (AA) – An overwhelming majority of young Greek doctors are dissatisfied with the country's national health system, local media reported Thursday.
Nearly half the doctors said they are dissatisfied with the healthcare system, with an even larger percentage of newer doctors (85.7%) expressing dissatisfaction, said the Kathimerini daily, citing a recent survey conducted on behalf of the Panhellenic Medical Association.
The survey, however, found that citizens are inclined to be more forgiving of the system, with 41.5% expressing satisfaction compared to 31.2% who were dissatisfied. Another 26.3% were neither pleased nor dissatisfied with the system.
Also according to the findings of the survey, women, people aged 25-44 and people aged 65 and over are the most satisfied with the service, whereas people aged 45-64 are the most dissatisfied.
