I don’t mean it to imply lack of competence, and both issues you mentioned sound like they’d qualify as that “work” for me, notably would probably need legislations drafted and passed. Bureaucracy is slow, but hopefully things will steadily improve.
Notably, public institutions are gonna be inherently tied into politics, having to deal with bureaucracy to get things done and subject to the whims of politicians playing their games for influence. It’s not that public administrators are dumb, but they’re part of a much bigger system that is funded by public money, and that presumably makes everything harder.
One big issue is that, to my knowledge, there simply aren’t enough doctors. That’s not something that can be fixed just by working more on it, but hopefully it could improve with better technology and more funding!
I will also say, I think one issue that can be improved rather directly is coordination - some private institutions can give you a list of timeslots available to sign up for and receive you in your allotted time, but in other places (both private and public) you might be waiting an hour for the doctor to show up, with no information on what’s going on and three people ahead of you. Shit happens, but it seems like the systems in place are severely lacking, if present at all.
That sounds entirely reasonable, and pedantic ;D
