Indian Woman Criticizes Germany's Healthcare System
‘Doctor Tak Pahunchna Hi Straightforward Nahi’: Indian Woman Reveals Unexpected Experience For An Appointment In Germany · news18.com

An Indian woman named Simran Koul Arora shared her experience on Instagram about the difficulties she faced in accessing healthcare in Germany.

She expected the healthcare system to be efficient but found it quite challenging.

Her husband had an eye infection, and they had to wait almost a week to see a doctor.

They were initially sent to an emergency room and then to another location an hour away from their home.

Despite paying high insurance premiums and taxes, getting a doctor's appointment was difficult and involved long wait times.

Social media users compared this experience to India's healthcare system, where patients can often see a doctor the same day with minimal wait times and affordable costs.
