Health in Macedonia

In 2015 it was estimated that 11.44% of the population has diabetes, costing about $403 per person per year.[1] In 2015 it had the fourth highest rate of death from non-communicable diseases in Europe(637 per 100,000).[2]

According to the Euro health consumer index the Macedonian health system made the most remarkable advance of any country in the history of their Index, from 27th to 16th place in 2014, because by implementing a real time e-Booking system they reduced waiting lists so significantly. From July 2013, any GP can make a booking at any specialist or heavy diagnostic equipment in the country in real time while the patient is present. They rated Macedonia 16th in Europe in 2015.[3]
