• Health policies and implementations are peculiar to individual countries.
• EU complements the efforts of member states and add value to their actions in reaching higher levels of health status.
![Page 13: HEALTH POLICIES IN THE EUROPEAN UNION Prof. Dr. Zafer Öztek](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062423/5681462c550346895db33b30/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Problems of Health Care Systems
• Cost – National health expenditures are increasing. E.g.. Italia (1977, 5.7 % – 1997, 7.4 %)
• Demographic Changes – By the year 2020, the percentage of the population over 75 years will increase by 40 % according to 1990 figures. Increase of dependency ratio will lead an increase in health budgets.
• Medical Technologies – Sustainability and rational use of technology is a problem.
• Satisfaction of the communities – Satisfaction of the consumer is becoming more difficult gradually.
![Page 15: HEALTH POLICIES IN THE EUROPEAN UNION Prof. Dr. Zafer Öztek](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062423/5681462c550346895db33b30/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Status of Physicians in EU
• EU, released the barriers and enabled the traveling of people within member countries in 7 Mart 2002.
• This will effect the medical market which is already saturated negatively.
• Medical unemployment is a growing problem in the member EU countries.
![Page 16: HEALTH POLICIES IN THE EUROPEAN UNION Prof. Dr. Zafer Öztek](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062423/5681462c550346895db33b30/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Unemployment Among Physicians
• Concentration in urban (Especially gynecologists, orthopedists, general surgeons)
• Lack of primary care physicians in the urban• Physicians do not prefer to work in the islands, mountainous
and poor regions• According to WHO the physician/population ratio in the
European Region is 1/500. [2002 – Italia (1/176); Norway (1/212); Greece (1/242); UK (1/610); 2004 – Turkey (1/735)]
• Medical unemployment – (Switzerland %5, Spain %5-10, Sweden %4)
