Resumo(s)
We aim to discover how fast our national health system can get back
on its feet and regain the public’s confidence after a shock of the
magnitude of COVID-19, by studying the evolution of health
service appointment cancellations made by both health services and
patients from 2020 to 2021. Is one year enough? Using cross
sectional data on Portuguese mainland residents of at least 15 years
of age, we conclude that from 2020 to 2021 both health services
recovered (cancellations of appointments by the latter decreased
11.2 p.p.), and individuals regained confidence in them
(cancellations by individuals decreased 4.7 p.p.).
