ABSTRACT

This report (Report 1) is a policy summary which underpins the key theme of the conference ­ financial sustainability in health systems. The report touches on the myriad elements involved in discussions on financial sustainability, and emphasizes the need for a clarification of the key concepts as a prerequisite to understanding both what is at stake and what is involved, in order to then consider potential policy decisions. Given the high level involvement at the conference, and towards enhancing the empirical relevance of the report and the research evidence it synthesizes, an earlier draft for consultation was presented at the conference. The current version represents the final report, taking into account the feedback received. Reports 2 and 3 are part of the joint Health Evidence Network-European Observatory on Health Systems and Policies policy brief series. The reports aim to respond to policy-makers' needs through the provision of accessible syntheses of the available research evidence, along with a discussion of the implementation issues around particular policy options. Earlier versions of the reports were presented during a review workshop hosted by the Czech Ministry of Health on 3 December 2008, involving the authors, representatives of the Czech Ministry, country experts, and key technical staff from the World Health Organization, the European Commission, the World Bank and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. The feedback and input received from the workshop participants were used in developing the final reports.

ABSTRACT

В ходе обсуждения политики здравоохранения часто поднимается вопрос о том, будут ли системы здравоохранения устойчивы в финансовомотношении в будущем. Нередко эту проблему формулируют с позицииспособности правительства и других заинтересованных сторон обеспечитьдостаточное финансирование медико-санитарной помощи перед лицом растущего бремени затрат, чаще всего указывая при этом на три фактора, создающих трудности – старение населения, появление новых технологийи ожидания потребителей в отношении охвата медико-санитарной помощью. Хотя понятие "финансовая устойчивость" занимает, по-видимому, центральное место в дебатах по вопросам политики здравоохранения, оно не входит в число целей большинства систем здравоохранения, включая и цели, предусмотренные в разработанной ВОЗсистеме оценки показателей деятельности систем здравоохранения. Более того, нет ясности или единого мнения в отношении значения этого термина, кроме понимания того, что он каким-то образом касается"способности платить" или "доступности по стоимости". Тем не менее, коренной вопрос "устойчивости" – поддержание равновесия между растущим бременем расходов и ограниченными ресурсами – вызываетозабоченность во всех странах, тем более в контексте нынешнего финансового кризиса. Это неизбежно означает необходимость искать компромиссы как в самом секторе здравоохранения, так и в более широком плане между сектором здравоохранения и всей остальной экономикой. Предлагаемое краткое изложение принципов, подготовленное к Министерской конференции по вопросам финансовой устойчивости систем здравоохранения в Европе, которая проводилась в Праге 10–12 мая 2009 г. в рамках председательствования Чешской Республики в Европейском Союзе, имеет целью пролить свет на понятие финансовойустойчивости и рассмотреть его практическое значение с точки зренияполитики.

ABSTRACT

The question as to whether health systems will be financially sustainable in the future is frequently raised in health policy debate. The problem is often phrased in terms of the ability of governments and others adequately to finance health care in the face of growing cost pressures, with population ageing, new technologies and consumer expectations around health care coverage and quality being the three most commonly cited challenges. Although the notionof ‘financial sustainability’ appears to be central to health policy debate, it does not form part of most health system objectives, including those of the World Health Organization’s health system performance framework. Moreover, there is little clarity or consensus about the term's meaning, beyond it having something to do with ‘ability to pay’ or ‘affordability’. Nevertheless, the underlying ‘sustainability’ issue – balancing rising cost pressures against limited resources – is a concern across countries, all the more so in the context of the current financial crisis. Inevitably, this means addressing trade-offs, both within the health sector itself and more broadly between the health sector and the rest of the economy. This policy summary, prepared for the Czech European Union Presidency Ministerial Conference on the Financial Sustainability of Health Systems(Prague, 10–12 May 2009), aims to shed light on the notion of financial sustainability and to examine its policy relevance in practical terms.
