Overview
The objective of this paper is to evaluate the long-term development of main health system inputs and outputs and to evaluate the development of the efficiency of the Czech health system. We evaluate the health system efficiency by two indices of efficiency, which contain 4 inputs and 2, respectively 3 outputs of the health system. The weights of inputs and outputs were obtained by a questionnaire survey among experts. The developed efficiency indices show that the efficiency of the Czech health system has a downward trend.
