[Brief description of the healthcare systems of Greece, Spain and Bulgaria].

Abstract

The review of healthcare systems presented in the article notes the diversity of healthcare management in Greece, Spain, and Bulgaria. All these systems have more or less pronounced state subsystems with different centralization of management, the maximum level of which is represented in Bulgaria. Medical care is provided at several levels, while the provision of primary health care still requires improvement in Greece and Bulgaria. A fairly high percentage of GDP spent in these countries on healthcare does not prevent the co-financing of medical services at the expense of personal funds of citizens, including through informal payments. At the same time, in all three countries, the provision of medical care in hospitals still prevails over outpatient care.
