CASE Network Reports No. 78
The objective of this report is to present possible scenarios for future health care system revenues and expenditures in Poland, and to discuss the results.
The question of ageing-related changes in health care expenditure in Poland was raised in the context of EU policy debate rather than in response to local discussions on the volume and structure of public health care expenditure. Due to the low level of public health care funding and dynamic institutional changes in the sector, the national policy making process is focused on the sources of health care system funding, the size of funding and the efficiency of funding allocation. Issues related to the level and individual determinants of expenditures are not within the scope of mainstream policy debate. Consequently, projecting scenarios of future health expenditure development and its determinants is an innovative project in Poland. Most likely, the same is true for other New Member States which have recently gone through transition.
