Abstract

V originále

From the point of view of the breakdown of economic sectors, healthcare is classified as a service sector. Its scope affects every member of society. Due to the sums that are directed to this area from public and private sources and further transformed and redistributed in it, it ranks among the most important sectors of the economy. The mentioned paper focuses on the financing of health care in the territory of the Czech Republic. The aim of the paper is to describe the financing of health care expenses in the territory of the Czech Republic for the period 2017–2020. Part of the given paper is a comparison of health care expenses in the territory of the given state according to the main sources of financing, namely public, private sources and households. Healthcare financing is a fundamental dimension of healthcare bills. Each of the funding sources has its own specific role. Individual countries may differ significantly in the representation of individual funding components, which is due to the different organizational structure of healthcare funding. Based on this information, the paper also includes an international comparison of health care expenditures in EU countries in the context of funding sources.
