Family Doctors' Perception of Patient Safety Issues in Rural Versus Urban Primary Healthcare Facilities.

Significant differences were only found in urban PHFs. High shortage of resources in rural areas and free choice of family doctors by rural residents increase affluence to urban or Chisinau PHFs. Urban PHFs have less resources to cope with patient number and workflow than Chisinau and this is likely to lead to significant differences in the family doctors' perception of patient safety culture.
