Czechs none too interested in state of health

Czechs are not particularly interested in their state of health according to a poll conducted by the STEM agency this month. The survey suggests that two out of five people in the Czech Republic do not know their blood type, 70% are unaware of the names and side effects of the drugs they use. The agency says that only about one third of Czechs have detailed information about their medical history and one fourth remembers when they last had the flu. At the same time, 93% of respondents said they would welcome having access to their health records, an option that some health insurers already provide.
