Data Analysis

I'm summarizing the data analysis taken from the "Public Healthcare System" research performed in Romania. Since the study has covered many variables that in my understanding are mostly "categorical", therefore; I represented the data either in pie chart and bar chart, however; I have only included some of these variables with the associated survey questions in my post.

I mainly focused on the factor that how many sample population visit doctor either on regular basis or only in situations when actually they have health problems. And how many out the later are male or females.

One cannot say the same about the visits made to the dentist; thus, the persons aged 35-55 have the lowest percentage of visiting the dentist for a routine check (approximately11%).

• Main reasons for not going to a doctor are: lack of time/waste of time (38% in 2007 compared to 34% in 2002), lack of money (25% compared to 36%) or because they considered it wasn't a serious health problem (22%). 7% of the persons did not turn at all to a doctor because the lack of trust in doctors/treatments or because of fear.
