Survey: Majority of Austrians Dissatisfied with Healthcare System

The often lamented dissatisfaction with the healthcare system in Austria is now also confirmed by a Marketagent survey published on Tuesday. According to the survey, 55 percent believe a fundamental reform of the healthcare system is necessary, and 68 percent complain that the quality of treatment depends on whether one is privately or publicly insured. The survey was conducted on the occasion of the industry event "Health Makers Festival" on March 13 in Vienna.

Trust in Conventional Medicine and Vaccinations Divided

The survey (1,020 people as part of an omnibus survey, period from January 29 to February 4, 2025, representative of the Austrian population, margin of error +/- 3.1 percent) also reveals that only 58 percent "very" or "rather" trust conventional medicine and only 55 percent consider vaccinations important and trust the vaccines approved in Austria. Trust levels are higher among older people, with vaccinations also receiving better approval from the surveyed 14 to 19-year-olds at 67 percent.
