Austria's healthcare system is facing a crisis, with widespread dissatisfaction among its citizens.

A recent survey revealed that 68% of Austrians believe the quality of care depends on whether one has private or public insurance.

Trust in conventional medicine is also waning, with only 58% of respondents expressing confidence, and this figure drops to 45% among those under 30. Many young people report a lack of information about the healthcare system, leading to fears about vaccinations and future care.

Over half of the population is calling for bold reforms, with 55% deeming a complete overhaul necessary.

Experts emphasize the need for better communication and digitalization to restore trust and improve accessibility.

The upcoming "Health Makers Festival" in Vienna aims to address these pressing issues and spark meaningful change.
