Montenegro has the worst health system in Europe

Montenegro was on the last place in the list of 35 European countries in assessing the health system. The analysis is carried out according to the task, in particular, the European Union (Euro Health Consumer Index 2015).

In 2015, Montenegro raised the rating by 23 points to the indicators of 2014. However, as noted, this is not enough to move from the last place.

The report notes that Montenegro is a country that has only 650,000 inhabitants, and thanks to a relatively small number of citizens, reforms can be implemented in a very short time.

The report also says that the positive dynamics is explained by the circumstance that the mass influx of Russian capital brought Montenegro's profit, which at the time of writing of this report was "under threat of sanctions against Russian capitalists after the seizure of the Crimea."

The country has only 650,000 inhabitants, which makes it possible for rapid entry of health care reform into force.

Holland has been and remains the country that has the best health care system in Europe and the only country that has scored more than 900 points for the first time in 11 years of measuring this indicator.

Eight countries (the Netherlands, Switzerland, Norway, Finland, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany and Iceland) scored more than 800 points out of a maximum of 1000. Denmark, Sweden, France and Austria are behind them for a variety of reasons did not fully achieve this result.

Of the former Yugoslav republics, Slovenia leads in 15th place, followed by Croatia by 16, Macedonia by 18 and Serbia by 30th place.

The EHCI analysis of the national health system is based on 48 indicators that include areas such as rights and patient awareness, disease prevention, access to care, treatment outcomes, the volume and range of services and the use of pharmaceutical products.
