Healthy in transition – Health system in Serbia – Management approach

Abstract

The center of the healthcare system is all about men, throughout their lives, from conception to death, with the natural ability to take care of themselves – both when they are healthy and when they fall ill or when they need an organized and specialized help. Since a disease affects almost all men, it is one of the required priorities to think ahead. People are obliged under certain circumstances to pay for the healthcare services while they are healthy, and find its organized system available when they are ill. Healthcare for citizens of Serbia, as well as the coordinated and organized health systems, with their primary, secondary, and tertiary healthcare should be accessible to everyone under equal conditions, the principles of scientific medicine on the one hand, and business performance of health institutions, on the other. It is a human right to use an organized and efficient healthcare system, which gives them freedom from disease, and thus creates a free society.
