Abstract:

The Diploma Thesis is deals with two different health care systems -- in France and the Czech Republic. The purpose of the literature overview is to define what health and health care is, to provide with information about determinants of health, and their influence as well as to sum up each health care system. It describes the historical development of the each system, the structure, main organizational agencies and the method of financing. The situation of ophthalmology sector in the Czech Republic and France is compared to determine the quality of care delivered to patients in each country. The comparison analysis is based on study of main (most common) eye diseases, the availability of care to the patients provided by certain number of ophthalmologists and their activity. From the economic point of view, costs connected with certain interventions, private expenditure on ophthalmology and total earnings of ophthalmologist are studied. Finally the health care expenditure of France and the Czech Republic is discussed and compared to other OECD countries in order to find out to what extent the health expenditure is covered by public and private sector and what part of GDP it represents in each country.
