Migrants are less likely to go to a hospital than people with Austrian citizenship. They use the health system less, but are more likely to be taken up again, reported Viennese researchers in the "Journal of Migration and Health". Around 20 percent of the domestic population have no Austrian citizenship. However, this group represents only 9.4 percent of hospital patients.
According to researchers from Vienna, the low hospitalisation rate is at the same time a higher resumption rate. Are people without Austrian citizenship above average healthy or make access barriers difficult to visit hospitals?
Migrants living in this country have significantly lower hospitalisation rates - with one exception: Germans account for the majority of hospitalisations per capita.
In the case of men, the Austrians are in front of Slovaks and Italians, the most rare in the hospital are North Macedonians, Croats and Serbs. In the case of women, Germans lead before Syrians and Austrians.
