So 10000 a year? And this(people on waitlists) is a population that is definitely more likely than most to have a life threatening health event at any given moment. These stats are meant to be alarming but what are they comparing agaisnt and how are they arriving at ‘likely double’. This is just bad reporting with heavy bias
Wow! But...
What percentage is it of the people on the wait list?
How does it compare to other systems like in the US, Sweden etc?
There is simply not enough information to make a judgment.
My guess is that they had deliberately downgraded the system, to make it more capitalist friendly, so to force the patients to seek solution to the private sector. A well known recipe...
I believe the number is higher for Cambodia (don't know for the other cases), but is it relevant with what we were talking? We were talking about the healthcare system
