Universalist model

This model is developed

in Great Britain and Ireland.

This model is financed more at the expense of taxes. In a basis of the British

system of the organization and financing of health care

the priority of the primary medical and sanitary help is

put.

Continental model

The continental model is developed in Germany, Austria,

France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg.

This model is financed at the expense of

assignments from a wages fund and from special state funds.

Southern model

This model is developed in Spain, Portugal, Greece and

partially in Italy.

In this model financing is more carried at the

expense of contributions from employment funds.

Medical attendance is carried out by the public

and private medical institutions.

Scandinavian model

This model is developed in Sweden, Finland and

Denmark

In this model financing is carried out generally at the expense of income tax, and the size of paid

manuals directly depends on earnings. Medical services are

rendered both state, and private treatment-and-prophylactic

institutions.

The Swedish model of health care is recognized

for today as one of the most world-best.

In the Swedish model the considerable share of expenditures on medical care is born by the state, and only about 10% of services are

paid by the population. Upon purchase of the drugs assigned the

doctor, the medical insurance returns to the patient from 50 to

100% of expenditures

Private model

This model is developed in the USA,

South Korea.

This model is financed at the expense of quotients and to a

lesser extent the state sources. Rendering medical care is

carried out by private vendors of medical services.

following laws and regulations:
