Summary: This paper deals with effect of social stratification on
health and health care. Differences in health status between social groups
as the result of their position on stratification scale are considered as
health inequalities. Results of the international studies which are
reviewed in the first part of the paper show that health, i.e. health
status measured by negative indicators such as mortality and morbidity
rates as well as health behavior are unequally distributed between social
classes. In general, members of higher social groups have better health
status (longer life expectancy, lower mortality and morbidity rates, more
positive health behavior) than those from the groups with lower
socioeconomic status. In the second part of the paper the first empirical
evidence on social inequalities
in health and health care in the Croatian population is shown. In the
research carried out in the Zagreb area in 1990. the considerable
inequalities were discovered in health status when measured by
self-perceived general state of health, experience of symptoms, pain and
worry about health. The social groups
reported also significant differing in dental health. Social inequalities
are shown when accessibility and utilization of health care services are
analyzed. The inequalities are significant in primary health care and high
discretionary dental
care, while low discretion specialist and hospital services are rather
equally distributed. Considerable inequalities were also discovered in
preventive behavior. In general, the managers and professionals, groups
with the highest socioeconomic status, have the best health status and
health care indicators while the peasants and unskilled workers, groups
with the lowest socioeconomic status, have the worst health and use health
care services less than they need.

Summary: Debate in CCEE countries has not adequately addressed the
fundamental issues that influence health risk factors of the
quality of the health service system. There are also lot of
problems in systematic monitoring, using data in evaluation which
differs in reliability, sometimes data are not available, or the
time series may be too short to reveal trends. There are some
general problems too. Some of the difficulty stems also from
disagreement about which domain provides the most useful
information. Even were the focus restricted to pathology,
however, conclusions about changes in morbidity over time are
limited by a dearth of reliable data on trends in the specific
incidence and prevalence of disease. And finally, community-based
surveys that prospectively gather longitudinal data on morbidity
are extremely costly.

Summary: Year 1984 was very important year in the modern history.
Until
that year in the international relations and development policy
it was valuable the formula given by Mrs. Gandhi "Development is
the best contraceptive"; the United States took lead among the
rich countries in declaring that population increase was respon-
sible for chronic poverty and that world could not afford to
wait for development to slow it. But from 1984 Reagan administra-
tion argued that population is neutral and that development
depended above all on free markets. If we do not interrupt in the
process it will grow only this population which can take care of
itself. There are existing inherent powers which will stop the
growth of population before the all resources are wasted. With
free markets population and all other matters would take care of
themselves. Market can be solution for everything even the racial
problems too because population growth and its resolution also
include solution for racial problem because population growth has
highest rates in Black Africa, Yellow Asia and Red Southern
America.

Summary: The difference between the transition that opened century
and
transition at its closeis, of course, that this time, with almost
a century of experience, we are no longer burdened by the
ignorance of outcomes. Armed with this knowledge of destination,
the marriage of economics with transitin problematic generates a
new science of transition. The gratest obstcle to understanding
change in contemporary Eastern Europe is the concept of
transition. As the science of not yet, transitology is known to
many for its engeeniring applications: blueprints, road maps,
recipes, therapies, formulae, and marching orders for how to get
from socialism to capitalism in six steps or sixty. Common to
both, theoretical and applied sides is an underlying teleology in
which concepts are driven by hypotesized end states. As in all
versions of modernization theory, transitology beginsinsins with
a future that is not only desired but already known. The
destination has been designated: Western Europe and North America
hold the image of the East European future.

Summary: Basic social inequalities existed between different
socio-economic groups in the former Yugoslav society. They exist in the
emerging independent republics - states, which also differ in general
health and attitudes to health care reform. Major dimensions of social
stratification are education, education, and participation in political
power. Inequalities in health and unequal access to health care services
correspond to all regional, social, cultural and econimic inequalities
inherent in the former Yugoslav society. Infant mortality rates, for
instance, are five times higher in Kosovo than in Slovenia, while the
number of hospital beds/capita there is less then half.
Studies into health differences by social class, based on the population of
Zagreb, Croatia, reveal that the health of the upper social strata is
better then that of manual workers and peasants. In spite of this, they use
health services more frequently.
Two characteristics features of the former Yugoslav health system have been
the principle of self-management and a strong formal commitment to health
equality. For a long time, however, social inequalities in real life were
ignored in spite of this formal commitment. The fact that equality was such
a dominant value of health policy and the health system made it difficult
to accept the existence of inequalities in life expectancy, infant
mortality, and general and specific mortality and morbidity. The persistent
presence of unrecognised social inequalities in everyday life gave rise to
a dynamic conflict with the official ideological and normative principles.
The logic of this conflict may reduce equality to a value of only secondary
importance.
One of the first law changes passed by the new democratic parlaiment in
Croatia was the change of the Health Care and Health Insurance Act, which
transformed control of entire health system from the self-governing
communities to the Croatian government. Funding has also been centralized,
and a uniform health insurance organized, probably resulting in more equal
access to care within the state. However, the changes that are now carried
out are primarily directed towards economic goals such as reducing costs,
increasing efficiency and balancing the deficit in the insurance fund.

Summary: Health reform projects represent a sophisticated operation
with
an indirect impact on social, economic, political and, by direct
implications, upon the epidemiological, pathological and
demographic picture of a population. Before structural and
organisational changes can be implemented, different stages have
to be passed through step by step as analysing problems and
options, discussing and accepting a concept, gaining legislative
support, organising the 'reform management infrastructure. Even
before reforms started it was recommend to pay more attention to
the management of transformation, to the infrastructure
development, and to clarify the roles of health ministries and
sub-national levels. Instead of exploring the political and
analytical issues which have received so much attention in
development circles in the last decade the reforms were a
compendium of health service-based activities. There was too much
emphasis on the structural and fiscal reforms, and too little
emphasis on the personal and organisational management and
development. Health financing is only one component of health
economics, which, in turn, is a component of the wider field
of health systems research that is based on interdisciplinary
studies to optimise the highly complex health service system or
its smaller components. Whole reform complex during the
historical mix of first and second epidemiological transition
should not be reduced to the problem of transition,
privatisation, and financing of health care systems.

Summary: Health care system in Republic of Croatia is relatively
well
developed in comparison to general economic development, and
based by contemporary principles (priority of primary health
care, accessability, continuity, and undivided approach in
solving health care problems). The health care at the primary
level includes: the general practice, school (pediatric)
medicine, hygienic-epidemic care, dental care, emergency care and
primary care for women and children and the general practice. The
health care at secondary level includes: hospitals with its
inpatient and out-patient departments. At the tertiary level, the
most complicated cases are being handled, the need specialized
branch of medical activity, also scientific-research work is
done, and the university level educatin is given. In the state
ownership are: clinics, teaching hospitals, teaching medical
centres and public health institutions. The districts owe: health
centres, institutions that cover the health care at home,
policlinique, general hospitals, specialized hospitals,
pharmacies, institutions of emergency health care, institutions
for public health and transfusion medicine. The main intention is
to make the primary health care private which would be done by
selling or leasing already existing "community" physicians
consultation rooms and by stimulating the begining of private
ordinations. Also it is made possible to open the so called group
general practice which would include the combination of
physicians with different specializations. Because of complexity
of this matter the plans will develop slowly, and it is expected
that they all should be implemented in next 4 to 6 years. In the
last two decades it was developing rather uncontrolled which in
aditin of unstisfying structure and consequential
irrationalities resulted in many problems, primary those of
financial nature.

Summary: Towards the end of the eighties and the beginning of the
nineties, the socialist block of the East-European countries
disintegrated. This processes was interpreted as a consequence of
global economic, social and health system transitions. The
political climate in the Central and Eastern Europe during this
process, in the late 80s and early 90s was associated with a
euphoric notion of opening a new page in history. This process
was related to 346.2 millions inhabitants living in 34 countries
among which only 5 (Poland, Hungary, Romania, Albania and
Bulgaria) existed as independent states only five years ago. The
new feeling of freedom was associated with willingness to abandon
all links with the past. In some countries this process was
labelled as democratic revolution, in some as reform, and even
some new terms as refolution was coined. It was connected with
fundamental redefinition of the role of the state together with
more efficient allocation of resources through market mechanisms,
greater individual freedom of choice through democratic
processes, and decentralisation of responsibility and management.
Following those changes, the ministers of health and professional
associations in the health sector embarked upon such process of
change. The belief was that this reform-boat will take them from
centrally planned and financed soviet type health system to one
existing in European Union.
