Basically boils down to Ireland has money to handout but not solutions or infrastructure
Irish systems are basically chronically overloaded — the population is rising rapidly and the system isn’t expanding quickly enough, and it is just not well organised.
The other issue is that our costs are drastically higher. Drs salaries running at €500— €1000 a month in Ukraine before the war from what I’m reading vs Irish salaries that have to be at least vaguely able to compete with Australia, Canada, the UK, the U.S. and against other careers our own economy or they just won’t retain staff.
A relatively small amount of money will buy you a lot of healthcare in an economy with very low wages and very little in an economy with wages / income similar to your own.
Can I go to Ukraine to get healthcare? Genuine question, sounds decent
What a shambles of a system. So basically a country in a war right now, has a better healthcare system than our own. Pretty embarrassing.
> Her reform transformed healthcare delivery through the eHealth platform where patients connect with family doctors online, including not only digital prescriptions or appointments but also direct communication with access to test results and referrals.
War torn country has better healthcare setup than Ireland, one of the wealthiest nation of the EU. Just saying.
“Ireland has excellent healthcare, but it’s designed for those already dying. Ukraine gives you the chance to catch problems before they become life-threatening. That’s the crucial difference.”
Says it all really
Ukrainian workmate of mine needed urgent surgery a few months back, it was easier and quicker for him to hop on a plane back into an active war zone than to wait for an appointment with the HSE.
Yup, spending €€€’s on people “fleeing” for their lives from a war that they have no problem going home to for Christmas or to get some dental/medical care. Not being taken advantage of at all.
In other news, PRSI rates are rising to plug the pension black hole. If only they could find that money somewhere else instead of raising taxes.
Says it all about virtue signalling Ireland
