Hungarians spend the most time in hospitals in the EU
Change language:
An average Hungarian spends almost ten days in hospitals in a year by which the Hungarian rate is the worst in the EU.
Among the EU member countries, in the Netherlands people spend 4.5 days in hospitals while this number is 5.3 days in Bulgaria, 5.5 days in Denmark. These are the lowest data in the EU – says hvg.hu based on a new announcement of the Eurostat.
The highest number in this respect is in Hungary with an average of 9.8 days per capita. Hungary is followed by the Czech Republic (9.6 days) and France (9.1 days).

Eurostat says that even though there were more female patients in the EU, in most of the member states, men spent more time in hospitals than women.
Based on a report of the European Commission, it seems that the health conditions of the Hungarians are among the worst ones in the EU. Hvg.hu says that
it is like Hungarians “would like to die earlier than they should.”
This is because many Hungarians smoke, drink, but they do not move. Therefore, it is not surprising that most of the deaths are caused by the unhealthy lifestyle the average Hungarian conducts. Based on the report of the European Commission, there are vast differences between different groups of society. For example, those men who have a degree live 12 years longer than those who obtained a lower qualification.
