Patient`s health culture and competence when in need of medicaments

Abstract

For decades Bulgaria has stood among the countries with the highest population morbidity and death rate. However, recent results show that the average life expectancy in the country slowly increases. Why is it so? One of the possible explanations, or at least one of the important factors that could form part of the explanation of this phenomenon, is the fact that a large part of the Bulgarian people`s health culture and knowledge have increased considerably.
