Japan is one of the countries that can proudly boast of their high standard in healthcare. Japan has been spending only half of what America is spending on healthcare but they are still able to live longer than most Americans. The Japanese are diligent when it comes to visiting their doctors and make sure that they are on top health. The healthcare system in Japan is nothing like the healthcare system of other developed countries. Everyone is able to access healthcare and are in general much healthier due to the many possibilities to feel better. Japanese would typically spend more time in hospitals than their American counterparts who are always excited to get out of the hospital to reduce hospital bills. The Japanese patients want to make sure that they completely better before being discharged, their health is their main issue.
There is a current shortage of doctors in Japan
Healthcare is of great demand in Japan but there is a shortage of doctors and medical practitioners in the country. The rural areas have it the worst because doctors who are able to provide them with the basic healthcare hardly ever visit them. Certain specializations are lacking greatly of practitioners that is another hindrance to the area of development. Patients in the urban areas are lucky enough to be able to see a doctor almost anytime that they want. Since there is a lack of doctors in the country, it can take time for a short check-up. Doctors are easily accessible but the amount of time spent in waiting can make someone wonder if they truly need to attend the visit. Most doctors aim to check up on more than 100 patients a day to be able to earn enough money that can compensate for their daily needs. The salaries are low and they try to counter that by overprescribing certain medications and drugs. Keeping patients in bed for longer is also one way of earning more for doctors.
