Reliable and comparable data on access to health care across the EU-27 Member States is limited. The most comprehensive available data comes from the 2007 Eurobarometer Survey Health and Long-Term Care in the European Union, which is a public opinion survey and sufficient only to suggest potential trends. Based on those women interviewed for the survey, the majority of European women report having easy access to health care. Approximately 88% of women felt that it was easy to access a family doctor or general practitioner. However, the survey suggests that access to health services varies widely within and across Europe.
