Summary
The Ipsos Health Service Report 2025 is a comprehensive study that examines global attitudes and perceptions regarding healthcare systems across 30 countries. This edition focuses on the awareness and impact of GLP-1 drugs, such as Ozempic and Wegovy, on obesity. It reveals that while awareness of these drugs is low globally, it is significantly higher in the United States. The report highlights that social media plays a crucial role in shaping public perception of GLP-1s, often overshadowing traditional healthcare sources. Additionally, the report discusses the rising concerns about mental health, with 45% of respondents identifying it as the biggest health issue, an increase from previous years. It also notes a decline in trust towards healthcare systems, as many individuals prefer to seek health information independently rather than relying solely on medical professionals. The findings underscore the evolving landscape of healthcare perceptions, driven largely by online narratives and personal experiences.
