Slovaks go to doctors the most often in EU

Slovaks visit the doctor during the year the most often among all EU countries. Annually 12 visits of general practitioner or specialist fall on each Slovak. Slovakia is then followed by Hungarians and Czechs. This results from the information of OECD, where the average is on the level of around 6 consultations per year. Slovakia is in the forefront also in the number of examinations carried out by one doctors, what is caused by the gradual loss of doctors.
