      Report: Doctors Want More Time With Patients


      According to a new report, 77% of Israeli doctors say they do not have enough time to treat all of their patients as thoroughly as they would like. The report was issued by the Geocartographia Institute in preparation for the Haifa Conference for Social Responsibility.

      The report also showed that doctors prefer well-informed patients. 81% of the doctors surveyed said that the general public should take more responsibility for its own health, including learning about modern medicine. However, only 45% of the public expressed interest in doing so.
