Rehabilitation Services Funded by the National Health Fund in the years 2005–2014. Trends and Prospects

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the study was to analyze the National Health Fund (NHF) expenditure on health services in the field of rehabilitation and spa treatment over the last 10 years (2005– 2014), as well as to assess the use and access to the health services. The results indicate that the NHF spending on medical rehabilitation and spa treatment increased during this period. There was also a raise in the demand for these services. Medical rehabilitation is often used by older people. However, the increased use among people aged 10– 19 years is observed too. Due to the limits and restrictions on access to rehabilitation services financed from public funds by the NHF, the number of people waiting for these services significantly increased. The longest average waiting time for the services is observed in the area of sanatorium treatment, where many patients have to wait more than 24 months to receive treatment.
