FREE MOVEMENT OF WORKERS: THE CASE OF HEALTH CARE WORKERS MIGRATING WITHIN THE EU

Freedom of movement of workers as a norrower area of freedom of movement of persons is one of the four fundamental rights of internal market of the European Union. Entering the European Union is a chance for workers of entering country to migrate and find better working conditions. Special attention is given to the migration of healthcare workers which for years have been a major problem for the development of health system and disorders within the same in counties from which workers are migrating. After the big enlargement of European Union in 2004 when ten new members joined and another two members in 2007, the greatest progress was made in migration of health workers, but not as much as expected. The main problem that arises as a result of migration are increased differences in the development of the health system between Western and Eastern Europe and the lack of workforce. There are still differences in the development of the health system and sufficient levels of workforce are still not reached. Both mentioned things are needed to develop high quality of health system in terms of quality of health service and quality of cash flow.Health management is currently one of the major topics at the level of the Republic of Croatia, but at the Euroepan level the same problem also exists, and solving models need to be found.
