Healthcare in Terms of National Security – Models, Similarities, Strategies, and Contradictions
Healthcare in Terms of National Security – Models, Similarities, Strategies, and Contradictions

Summary/Abstract: The evolution of healthcare delivery models is accompanied by a profound shift in societal awareness, increasingly framing healthcare as a pivotal element of both social stability and national security. This article examines two contrasting approaches to healthcare: patient-centered care at the individual level and the strategically and economically oriented perspective of the European Commission. The aim is to delineate the differences and commonalities between these models, to discuss a theoretical framework for their integration, and to deliberately create space for future developments and discourse. The article first analyzes existing care models and discusses the strategy of the EU Commission in this context, which remains primarily at the systemic macro level despite patient-oriented objectives. Strengthening national security is achieved through these objectives. This article should be viewed as a catalyst and impetus for the further development of a shared, sustainable, and comprehensive approach.
