Overview
The efficiency of the Czech health care system was evaluated by the efficiency index, which contains 4 inputs and 3 outputs of the health care system. The weights of medical inputs and outputs were obtained on the basis of a questionnaire survey among experts. International comparisons show that the efficiency of the Czech healthcare system has been declining in the long term in the period 2010–2021. However, the same trend can be observed in other European countries.
