The countries in Europe and Central Asia
(ECA) have been struggling to deliver good, affordable
health care to their populations. Indeed, life expectancy
gains in the region have been significantly lower than in
other middle or high-income countries, and in some ECA
countries the relative low level of public sector funding to
cover the cost of free medical care that is already promised
by the governments to their citizens has consistently
hindered access to quality services and led to a significant
increase in out-of-pocket spending by patients for
healthcare. The main challenge now is to redesign health
systems to effectively address the changing health needs of
the population, chiefly the increase in non-communicable
diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and
injuries, as the leading causes of ill-health, premature
mortality and disability. |
