Royal Philips, a global leader in health technology, recently released the South African results of the second annual Future Health Index (FHI). The study builds on data from over 33 000 participants in 19 countries, and advisory input from leading academic and global non-profit organisations.
Local findings signal that South Africans generally evaluate their health positively, with the majority (80%) of the population rating their current health as good, very good or excellent, while healthcare professionals are less optimistic. Just one third (33%) of healthcare professionals agree that the overall health of the population in South Africa is positive.
