W sprawie ekonomiczno-finansowych aspektów funkcjonowania przemysłowej służby zdrowia

Abstract

In discussions on the reform of health and welfare services in Poland carried for several years now most attention has been focussed on problems connected with the health policy sphere rather than modification of the functioning economic-financial system. Similarly, these discussions have been omitting the sphere of the industrial health service, and especially its place and role in a work establishment, or more precisely - its role in the system of socio-welfare benefits provided by particular economic entities. The present article presenting problems connected with the functioning of the industrial health service from the side of financing its operation is a contribution to discussions on ways of improving the economic-financial system of health services in Poland. There are also advanced suggestions regarding possibilities of allocating bigger financial resources for the industrial health service by particular economic entities, which would pave the way its desirable development in the future.
