Abstract

The Republic of Croatia during last 20 years of its existence goes through different forms of health care reforms whose effects are difficult to measure, and often instead of the planned positive developments, reform results are mismatch factors in the health system and reduced health care of citizens. The regional authority, county, have the task to coordinate all subjects in the health system without direct ability to make decisions on the scope of health care in their area. Healthcare providers in the public and private sectors implement the health care in the field of local self-government. Providers contract the financing of health care directly with the Croatian Institute for Health Insurance in accordance with the Network of health care by the Minister. The main goal of organized health system is accessible, continuous and comprehensive health and protection, which can be organized and implemented by only a well coordinated and organized health management consisting of service providers, orgAnizers and health care legislator. One of the main prerequisites for achieving this goal is a properly funded system
