The impact of economic crisis on the health sector of the countries under economic memorandum
Summary:
Due to the recent economic crisis in Europe, consequences can be detected not only in the economy of many countries but also in their residents' health. The health repercussions can be direct, like the decrease of accessibility to healthcare services and the reduction of both public and private expenses on healthcare, but they can also be indirect, like the increased cases of diseases, anxiety, depression and chronic ailments as a result of circumstances related with the economic crisis and unemployment. The main purpose of this study is to focus on five of these countries, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Ireland and Greece, with regard to the repercussions of the economic crisis on the highly important and sensitive sector of healthcare. The economic crisis that affected Europe the last few years, as well as the consequences in the economy and health sector of these countries, will be originally analyzed through bibliography review. At the last part of the study, an attempt is made to conduct a comparative presentation of the reviewed counties. The data are obtained by official databases of Eurostat, the OECD and the WHO.
