Tóm tắt :

115 p. The Health Systems in Transition (HiT) profiles are country-based reportsthat provide a detailed description of a health system and of policyinitiatives in progress or under development. HiTs examine differentapproaches to the organization, financing and delivery of health servicesand the role of the main actors in health systems; describe the institutionalframework, process, content and implementation of health and health carepolicies; and highlight challenges and areas that require more in-depth analysis.Azerbaijan gained independence from the Soviet Union in 1991. Reform of thehealth care system in Azerbaijan has been incremental so that organizationallyit still has many of the key hallmarks of the Soviet model of health care, theSemashko system. However, relatively low levels of government expenditureon health as a proportion of gross domestic product since independence hasmeant that out of pocket (OOP) payments accounted for almost 62% of totalhealth expenditure in 2007. This has serious implications for access to careand financial risk protection for vulnerable households. The private provisionof services is an increasingly important part of the health system, and servicesprovided in parallel by other ministries and state enterprises continue to accountfor a certain amount of health expenditure.Revenues from the recent oil boom have been used to fund large capitalinvestment projects such as the building of new hospitals with the latesttechnology and the import of modern equipment. However, future plans includethe strengthening of primary care and the introduction of mandatory healthinsurance as part of major reforms to the health financing system.
