How to treat the treatment system

Reisinger M.

Summary: The ancient Greek maxim "Know thyself" also applies to health care systems, which cannot adequately cure the patients if they cannot cure themselves. They should be able to identify and repair their own shortcomings. Treatment should be available for all patients who need it and there should be no waiting-lists. To reach this availability primary care physicians should provide these treatments. Regulations should be eased, because excessive regulations and controls are counter- productive. They are a barrier to treatment and they increase the risk of death for patients.
