As the pandemic fades, the demand for these services has decreased. State hospitals returned to work normally, which also affected the popularity of paid medical care. In addition, in the context of the economic crisis in 2022, patients with low solvency began to be treated mainly according to compulsory medical insurance policies, the study noted.
