Thông tin chi tiết

Tóm tắt :

This analysis of North Macedonia’s health system reviews developments in its organization and governance, financing, provision of services, health reforms and health system performance. Life expectancy improved prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, but remains far below the EU average, and the country still struggles with comparatively high levels of morbidity and mortality. The social health insurance system covers almost the entire population and progress has been achieved in providing access to publicly covered essential health services. However, challenges remain for patients in accessing health services and in financial protection. Geographical accessibility of services varies, with better access in the capital and major cities compared to smaller towns and rural areas. In terms of health financing, the health system offers universal population coverage for a wide range of benefits and services, which are free at the point of delivery or require only minimal co-payments to prevent overuse. Yet the share of private spending on health as a percentage of current health expenditure is high, which undermines the achievement of key health system goals, such as financial protection, equity and efficiency. xxiv, 130 p.
