Citizens and Health

At the end of November and beginning of December last year, 30 % of respondents described their health condition as being good and 49 % as being quite good. A fifth saw it as bad and one percent as very bad. One third (33 %) of respondents said that they regularly looked after their health, about a half (49 %) sometimes and almost one fifth (18 %) not at all. As disclosed by respondents, they care for their health more often by doing sports, furthermore by staying in the countryside – going for walks and trips, and observing rules of a correct regime of living, or more precisely healthy diet. According to the survey, during the last year at least three quarters of our inhabitants over 15 years of age went to a doctor; one quarter of them once and a half (52 %) repeatedly. The level of our medical care is seen as favourable by 69 % of respondents, and 27% expressed critical attitude. Compared with last year, the current survey depicted a sharp drop in satisfaction (down by 15 percentage points) and an increase of critical views of health care (up by 14 percentage points).
