Survey: every eighth person in Lithuania has private health insurance

The results of a survey conducted in Lithuania showed that every eighth person has been ensured by health insurance. Employers tend to take care of this type of insurance irrespective of the length of employee working time. Most often, health insurance coverage is provided for management level staff and specialists. They are 18-25 year old respondents just at the beginning of their career, and professionals of significant professional expertise.
