  • Health System
    The health care delivery system is defined by the Law on Medical Services.Apart from public health care institutions (health care centres and hospitals), some private health care institutions are also part of the public health network.

    Health care capacity is structured at three levels: primary, secondary and tertiary. At the primary level, health care centres provide health care to the population of one or several communities. Specialist care at the secondary level is organized in regional general hospitals, hospitals covering specific specialties and specialist outpatient practice organized within hospitals or health care centres or as independent practices (private specialist practices – see above). The tertiary level includes university hospitals and institutes, performing highly specialized services, education, research, transfer of knowledge and development. Tertiary care services are generally organized at the national level.
