Master's thesis

Abstract:

The quality and availability of health care are one of the basic indicators of the quality of life and the sustainable development of society. Due to the growth in the number of migrants in the Czech Republic, the topic of health insurance is very relevant. The main aim of the thesis will be to compare the health insurances, offered for foreigners from the third countries with temporary and permanent residence in the Czech Republic, to identify the differences between offered types and to evaluate these offers from the users‘ views. The first part of the thesis is processed using the method of literary research and defines the types of health systems, types of health insurance and insurance rules for foreigners in the Czech Republic. The second part of the thesis contains an analysis of the health insurance market in 2010-2021 – the number of foreigners who receive health care and the amount of financing of this care from public and commercial sources. Furthermore, the results of a questionnaire survey in which foreigners from third countries participated are analyzed. The aim of the survey was to find out and compare the opinions of holders of public and commercial insurance on the quality, price and scope of health care in the Czech Republic.
