Prevention in Austria: People Want More, Services Are Lacking
Published
Many people in Austria consider prevention important. Nevertheless, according to many of those surveyed, there are too few services available for it. This is the central finding of a survey that was published in the run-up to the Austrian Health event.
Prevention means detecting diseases early or preventing them before symptoms appear. It includes, for example, examinations, vaccinations, and counseling on nutrition and exercise. The survey shows that interest in such measures is high. However, people expect the healthcare system to make these services more easily accessible to them.
The result makes clear that prevention is not only a personal decision. It also depends on which services are available and how well they are known. Experts have emphasized for some time that strategic prevention can help in the long term to reduce costs in the healthcare sector and improve quality of life.
The survey is intended to provide impulses for the discussion at Austrian Health. There, experts from politics, medicine, and business want to discuss how prevention can be better organized and planned in the future.
