Qualitative Info |
Persons coming from Turkey or the former Yugoslavia less frequently use preventive than curative health care. Especially hospitalisation and medical practitioners are more frequently used by persons with migration background. Yet, dental services and ophthalmological examinations are less often used by persons with migration background. Women with migration visit less often the gynaecologist than Austrian women.
