Survey reveals satisfaction levels with outpatient care among older citizens, highlighting gaps in service accessibility.
Key Points
Only 36.3% of elderly Russians reported complete satisfaction with outpatient care in 2021, showing a decline to 31.5% by 2023.
About two thirds of older Russians utilize public clinics for their medical needs, but face challenges, including difficulty calling for ambulance services.
The evaluation involved analyzing statistical data from Rosstat's surveys conducted in 2021 and 2023, representing a critical perspective on healthcare access.
The research underscores the need for more comprehensive sociological studies to tackle healthcare challenges facing older citizens in different regions.
