Origin, Objectives and Methodology
Our healthcare system has been repeatedly put to the test by the crises of recent years. It is, therefore, no surprise that Europeans’ satisfaction with their healthcare system has declined, marked by long waiting times, overworked doctors and increasing bureaucracy. A lack of prevention, one of the most important levers for the health of Europeans, prevails. Nevertheless, Europeans are willing to invest in their own health. Many are changing their lifestyles, exercising more and eating healthier.
