Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to identify main challenges the Act on Healthcare Activity of 2011 poses in respect to local governments which act as founding bodies of independent health care units. The scope of the problem of transformation of independent health care units into limited liability companies is presented from quantitative, financial, competencies and information perspectives. The article shows that an establishment of new limited liability company imposes additional tasks upon a local government. Apart from financing the whole process of transformation, local governments have to develop financial and organizational restructuration plans for newly created limited liability companies as well as strategies aimed not only at survival but also expansion of new companies. It is concluded that there is a shortage of publications focusing on next steps of development of newly created limited liability companies.
