Summary (English)
The present report reviews the situation of health care today, especially in relation to the socio-economic status of those employed in this sector. Working conditions and labour protection for health care workers, salary issues and social guarantees, opportunities to improve professional knowledge and qualifications and to acquire advanced medical technologies - all these factors have a considerable influence on the quality of medical services provided, and consequently, on public health in general.
