Sažetak
This paper deals with public health systems of European Union Member States. We try to analyse and compare the public health budget allocation systems in existence in the EU. We analyse their differences and try to explain where the differences come from. We concentrate on the impact of differences in economic estimates in decision making on the allocation of scarce funds. We try to answer the question whether countries with lower income per capita compensate the lack of funds, lower capital endowment, and the impossibility to invest in equipment with larger labour endowment or improvement in human capital. On contraire, we find that some of the former transition countries experience a strong brain drain of medical personnel. Thus, former transition countries with relative stronger health personnel endowments tend to lose their qualified labour force to the more capital- endowed developed nations confirming the brain- drain hypothesis and refuting the hypothesis that labour is a relatively immobile production factor.
