Healthcare in Latvia has reached some new low point! 0 9

Political scientist and publicist Jurģis Liepnieks 'diagnosed' Latvian medicine on social media X:

"Healthcare in Latvia has reached some new low point.

Cancer mortality is 30-40% higher (!) than in other EU COUNTRIES, there are simply no modern medicines.

There are queues for everything. It is impossible to see specialists for any amount of money - you will still have to wait months in line.

In the development of the infrastructure of strategic hospitals, it is a complete disaster - they cannot finish the ongoing constructions, with cost increases of more than 100 million (referring to the construction of a new building for P. Stradiņš Hospital - editor's note).

Public health indicators, life expectancy, etc. are the worst in Europe."

This cannot continue.
