This situation is less supportive for the trust to the health care and science, and the growth of the domestic economy. To explore this phenomena, a qualitative survey was done to ten people who were pleased to give their written opinion for two open ended questions delivered by email. The results showed a dissatisfied and distrust to the nations health care in quality, teamwork, ethics, and facilities. These unfavorable conditions affect the patients as well as the familys health and well-being. Professionalism, multidimensional modernization, and holistic health management are the foreign countries policy, which are respectable values to be considered of.
