05.07.2022 - In 2021, for the second consecutive year, the activity of medical practices was affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite an improved situation compared with 2020, two out of five medical practices experienced reduced activity and one in five had to resort to short-time work. Three out of five primary care practices participated in the vaccination campaign that began at the end of 2020. These are some of the results from the latest survey of structural data from medical practices and ambulatory centres carried out by the Federal Statistical Office (FSO).
