The Key Market Disadvantages for Public Private Partnership in Health Care Sector in Poland
Abstract
The Polish health care system is based on an insurance model. The main source of funding of the system is health insurance in the NFZ. Citizens are charged with compulsory insurance premiums representing 9% of personal income (7.75% is deducted from the income tax, and 1.25% is covered by the insured), which is paid to the health insurance institution (NFZ). But the health care system in Poland has been experiencing serious difficulties for many years now. Herewith this article I present the most important market difficulties. On the one hand, there are the weaknesses of the system of organizing and financing the provision of health care benefits and on the other, the lack of adequate financial resources to ensure an acceptable treatment standard. PPP might become the remedy for those problems. The key success factors of implementing PPP in transforming health care market in Poland are presented.
