Global views on healthcare in 2018

In the perspective on patients/consumers there is still alot to do in getting healthcare right! A conclusion from the recent (2018) global survey of health by Ipsos
"Views about the future of healthcare differ widely across countries as optimism prevails in emerging countries (especially China, India, Saudi Arabia, Malaysia and throughout Latin America) while pessimism dominates in many developed countries (especially in Western Europe)."

Interesting is to see how patients' responses do tell more about their beleifs, then about figures. Where is the global survey that really compare data like from GHO/WHO, EU, IFPMA, OECD, and Global Health 50/50?

More disturbing for scholars on healthcare is the disappointing percentage of people having experience with telemedicine!

Interesting is how they value their own awareness of health risks, like: tabacco: about 90% think they are well-informed

and effects of alcohol on health (88% wel informed).

They think that public messages about prevention of health are sufficient in number (74%) and do attract attention (70%)!

how would this survey come out in the other EU countries?
