Abstract: The aim of the paper is to present the process of transformation of healthcare in Central Europe with focus on Hungary. Healthcare financing in this region was based on mandatory healthcare premiums paid both by the employee and the employer, although not divided equally. In addition, in a number of countries selected health services were subject to co-payment. Moreover, certain services were fully financed by the patient as out of pocket payments. Nowadays numerous modifications of healthcare systems are being proposed due to th instability of the financial sector, as well as economic slowdown, being a result of world financial crisis.
