Analiza finansowania publicznego świadczeń zdrowotnych w chorobach alergicznych w Polsce. Część pierwsza - ambulatoryjna opieka specjalistyczna

The article presents the public funding of health care for allergic diseases in terms of outpatient specialist care in 2014. On the basis of the NHF data available in the public domain authors analysed the financial outlay on the contracts by province, and compared them with the waiting time for benefits and the number of allergists. As a result, the analysis found inadequate public funding to meet the growing health needs of the population in the field of allergic diseases. There have also been inter-province differences in the levels of financing health services and in the number of allergy specialists.
