Overview
The international comparison of health systems is a frequently used tool of health policy. It assumes that international experiences are, at least to some extent, transferable from one country to another. The aim of this article is to review selected methods of international comparison of health systems. At the same time, we ask the question of how useful each method is for the evaluation of the Czech health system.
Keywords:
