The Austrian Press Council confirmed that the report by Kronen Zeitung regarding the use of hospitals by Syrian refugees and other migrants in Austria was misleading and discriminatory. The report misinterpreted the figures related to the number of visits and medical services provided to them. It clarified that the figure of 22 million medical services between 2015 and 2024 refers to individual services, not to the number of visits. Consequently, translating this into "6,000 patients daily" is inaccurate. Additionally, the share of services delivered to migrant nationalities does not exceed 2.75% of the total services, despite these groups making up 4.8% of the population. The report was criticized for using the term "hospital tourists" without clarifying the costs or their insurance status. It also exaggerated the costs of cosmetic treatments, which include procedures that are medically necessary rather than elective or cosmetic. The council considered that the report violated principles of accuracy and nondiscrimination. It emphasized that analyzing the healthcare system in the context of migration requires greater precision to prevent fostering preconceived judgments.
