In the past few years, several papers have been published in the international literature on the impact of the economic crisis on health and health care. However, there is limited knowledge on this topic regarding the Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries. The main aims of this study are to examine the effect of the financial crisis on health care spending in four CEE countries (the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia) in comparison with the OECD countries. In this paper we also revised the literature for economic crisis related impact on health and health care system in these countries. OECD data released in 2012 were used to examine the differences in growth rates before and after the financial crisis. We examined the ratio of the average yearly growth rates of health expenditure expressed in USD (PPP) between 2008–2010 and 2000–2008. The classification of the OECD countries regarding “development” and “relative growth” resulted in four clusters. A large diversity of “relative growth” was observed across the countries in austerity conditions, however the changes significantly correlate with the average drop of GDP from 2008 to 2010. To conclude, it is difficult to capture visible evidence regarding the impact of the recession on the health and health care systems in the CEE countries due to the absence of the necessary data. For the same reason, governments in this region might have a limited capability to minimize the possible negative effects of the recession on health and health care systems.

A horvátországi egészségügyi reform célja a decentralizáció elvén alapuló egészségügyi rendszer létrehozása volt. Az egészségügyi szolgáltatások költségnövekedése által okozott terheket a központi költségvetés helyett egyre nagyobb mértékben a lakosság viseli, miközben kiegészítő biztosítás létrehozásával megkísérelték csökkenteni a változások nemkívánatos következményeit. A gyógyszer-finanszírozási rendszer átalakításával a költségcsökkentés mellett el akarták érni, hogy a betegek nagyobb arányban jussanak hozzá a modern, innovatív gyógyszerekhez. ________ The Croatian health care system faced great challenges during the1990s. The aim of the paper is to review some important aspects of the Croatian health care reform. Establishing a decentralized health care system was an important section of the reform. As a new element of the health insurance system, burdens generated by the increase of costs of health services have fallen on the society increasingly, while complementary health insurance tried to decrease the undesirable consequences of the changes. The objective of the drug-financing reform was to reduce the costs and improve access to innovative medicines as well. As regards the success of the reforms, besides increasing incomings, the method and result of the spending of the health insurance funds is crucial.
