No 01/2018, CFP Occasional Papers from Portuguese Public Finance Council

Abstract: This occasional paper describes the main elements of a health system. It also compares the Portuguese health system to the remaining ones in the OECD and details the current model in Portugal. Portugal has a mixed health system, in which residents have an automatic protection under the responsibility of the State and may voluntarily contract additional protection through public or private health insurance companies.
