The Ukrainian health financing system and options for reform (2007)

The aim of this publication is to present a thorough analysis of the health care organization and financing system in the Ukraine to identify the priority problems and feasible changes. The structure of the report reflects the logic of the health financing analysis: First, it is considered with respect to each function (chapters 2–5), then the individual descriptions are synthesized in a characteristic of allocation of the functional responsibilities of the major financing system actors (chapter 6) together with a generalized assessment of the financing system (chapter 7). Further in the work priorities for finance reform are considered.
