antipathy towards health care system

Factors affecting antipathy towards health care system

-bad experiences (unfriendly medical staff, death of loved ones)
-long waiting times (in public health care system)
-expensive private health care (exclusive to wealthy citizens)
-environment of hospital not exactly 'pleasant'
-distrust of modern medicine (instead relying on traditional healers and medicine)

use acronym "BLEED"



Possible solutions?

-public awareness of medical developments and treatment
-enhance interpersonal skills among medical staff (doctors, nurses etc.)
-patient-centred collaborative approach to treatment (as opposed to paternalistic treatment)
