Malta with the second lowest rate of people with unmet medical needs in the EU

According to the latest EuroStat figures, Malta has the second lowest rate of people with unmet medical needs in the EU. The rate is at 0.5% just behind Cyprus with 0.1%. In third position is Czechia with just 0.6%.

The countries that have recorded the highest rate of patients with unmet medical needs are Greece with 21.9%, Finland with 12.4% and Estonia with 11.2%. The EU average is at 3.6% with people citing lack of finance, long distances and long waiting lists as reasons for not being able to receive medical care.

In April of this year, we published an investigative analysis stating that the Labour Party has recovered its losses from the European parliament in the polls, partly because of improvements to the national health service.
