(ANSA) – ROME, APRIL 16 – Italians dissatisfied with the National Health Service, waiting lists unsustainable for around 9 out of 10 (for 88% of Italians they wait too long for a first visit, for 85% for specific diagnostic tests or for check-ups and 84% for surgical interventions) and difficulty in accessing specialists; Seven out of 10 Italians believe that the government should invest more in the public healthcare system: these are, in a nutshell, the results of a survey by EngageMinds HUB, the research center of the Catholic University of Cremona directed by Guendalina Graffigna. On the positive side, almost 6 out of 10 Italians feel in good health.
Data also shows that, again considering specialist visits, 5 out of 10 complain of not always being able to find competent doctors. 49% place full trust in the NHS, while 51% do not trust it. Almost 8 out of 10 Italians are critical of the quality of the regional healthcare system, which rises to 9 out of 10 if we look at the national one. (HANDLE).
