From Decentralization to Privatization. The Case of the Polish Hospital System
Journal Title: Studia Iuridica - Year 2016, Vol 68, Issue
Abstract
Decentralization and privatization have been the key elements of the new public management agenda for reshaping public services. Both trends have also affected the area of health services, with particular focus on hospital management. This paper describes the process of decentralization of healthcare and hospital governance in Poland for recent decades and discusses whether the increasing role of local and regional governments in hospital management has triggered the process of privatization of healthcare units. Deriving from statistical data and qualitative assessment, it concludes that while privatization of hospitals in one of the important trends in the Polish health policy, its scope is limited by several obstacles of economic, political and social nature.<br/><br/>
