Influence of Reforms on Availability and Quality of the Czech Health Care

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Health care sector is essentially a very important industry in every developed democratic country, especially in Europe. This paper concentrates on assessment of the impact of on-going reforms of Czech health care system on patients. The empirical part of this study concentrates on the core hospitals providing medical services in every statutory district across the country. We assess the changes after 2003 when the reform started to be implemented in practice, and in particular we consider the recent changes in legal status and ownership of hospitals in 2011. The paper comes to the conclusion that services for population are reduced and are becoming more costly at the same time. As to the availability of health care, health care is still available, butthe on-going reforms make it less accessible. We suggest that this result is a combination of bureaucracy and ill-management of the process.
