Healthcare is sinking in costs. A change in thinking is needed

The healthcare system faces a crisis despite increasing funding, prompting calls for reforms focused on efficiency and prioritizing quality over quantity. Experts suggest that healthcare funding should be tied to treatment outcomes rather than the number of procedures performed. There is a pressing need to invest more in preventive care, which currently receives significantly less funding than the European average. Collaboration between public and private healthcare sectors is essential for improving patient care, as most primary care providers are already private. The private sector's efficiency could serve as a model for public healthcare improvements.
