Abstract

Internationally, public health systems are under pressure to fulfill rising healthcare demand while facing increasing financial constraints. The amount of health outcomes that can be obtained with public healthcare spending must consequently be maximized. The debate of resource allocation in medical systems is crucial because, in systems with various financing sources, resources used to treat one sickness or person cannot be used to treat another condition or person.
