A Viennese woman with suspected cancer would have waited over six weeks for an MRI. It took 24 hours for 300 euros. Not an isolated case, but sadly the norm, criticizes the Medical Association.

The healthcare system is in crisis. There is no money even for vital examinations and equipment - unless you have private insurance or the necessary small change. Ms. Monika G. from Floridsdorf has neither.
