O Polsce piszą:
1.3.30 Hungary and Poland Hungary (30th at 575 points) and Poland (31st at 564) are two countries, which have not done well in the EHCI in recent years, despite having good and plentiful medical education and a long tradition of solidarity-financed public healthcare. The reason(s) for this is not obvious. However, there could be a common factor between the two countries: It is well known from management practice, that if top management starts focussing on things other than producing the best products or services, the quality of products/services declines. In a corporation, “other things” can be Business For Fun such as “sexy” company acquisitions, using the corporate jet for hunting trips with posh people, or whatever. In recent years, the governments of Hungary and Poland seem to have focussed on things other than the optimal running of the country. In Hungary, things like keeping out 1200 refugees per year – a pathetic number, anyway. In Poland, killing off the free press and banning abortion in all but the most extreme circumstances. Since the start of the EHCI, ongoing political discussions on fundamental reform in Poland (as well as in Romania and other CEE countries) has yet delivered very little. In Hungary, one of the oldest publicly funded CEE healthcare systems has failed to transform from the old Semashko-style mentality into the modern world of patient-centered healthcare. The public and the medical profession of both countries deserve better.
