Since 2006, Health and Global Policy Institute (HGPI) has regularly conducted public opinion surveys on issues surrounding healthcare and health policy to understand the needs of the public. In addition to gauging public satisfaction in healthcare as in previous years, this year’s survey included new questions on items such as health management, the use of healthcare services, attitudes toward self-medication, and the future that citizens envision for the healthcare system.
