Summary/Abstract: The world Sanitary systems are classified according to their efficiency in transforming health expenditure. We are considering here, the correlation of health care spending, adjusted according to local prices and to health insurance. However, the experience of European countries has shown that reform consists not only in implementing radical initiatives, but also in creating and maintaining a political, legislative, administrative and technical framework able to monitor and adjust the implemented changes. Once structural changes are implemented, the role of the central administration would be that of operating these mechanisms, in order to achieve the targeted results by sustained monitoring and regulated efforts.
