SYDNEY - AussieJournal -- Medix Global, the international digital healthcare management company, has revealed that almost 1 in 3 (31%) Australians are not conducting regular check-ups for early detection and prevention of diseases, according to a new general healthcare study, conducted by Kantar.
The study, which surveyed 500 Australians aged between 30-59 also revealed the top two diseases that Australians were most concerned about: 1 in 4 Australians were most concerned about cancer, and 1 in 5 were most concerned about cardiovascular diseases, with women (31%) being more worried about cancer and men (25%) being more worried about cardiovascular diseases. In comparison, 13% of Australians listed respiratory diseases, including COVID-19, as the disease they were most worried about.
While around 80% of Australians have expressed confidence in specialists in their explanations provided for understanding the condition, diagnosis and treatment offered, 39% of Australians diagnosed with a serious medical condition do not seek a second medical opinion after being given a diagnosis.

More than 90% Australians would look for information on new technologies that test and treat cancer and avail them if accessible, and 86% would likely upgrade their policies to cover these technologies.
President and CEO of Medix, Sigal Atzmon (https://www.medix-australia.com/au/home/a/main/), said that Australians are looking for remote healthcare solutions now more than ever before.
