tervisessüsteemide

Tervisessüsteemide is a concept in Estonian healthcare, referring to a system for providing universal access to healthcare services. The term is derived from the Estonian words "tervis" meaning health and "süsteemide" meaning system. The system aims to provide comprehensive coverage of medical services, including preventive care, curative care, and rehabilitation services.

The Tervisessüsteemide is based on the principles of universality, equity, and solidarity. It aims to ensure that all people living in Estonia have access to necessary healthcare services, regardless of their income, social status, or any other factor. The system is designed to provide comprehensive care, from preventive services like vaccinations and health checks to curative services like hospital care and rehabilitation.

In Estonia, the Tervisessüsteemide is implemented through a public-private partnership model, where public and private healthcare providers collaborate to provide services. The system is financed through a combination of fees paid by patients, government subsidies, and private insurance premiums. The system also includes a range of quality control measures to ensure that healthcare services meet the necessary standards.

The Tervisessüsteemide has been recognized as a model of best practice in healthcare delivery, with a strong focus on preventive care and early intervention. The system has contributed to significant improvements in health outcomes, life expectancy, and population well-being. The concept of Tervisessüsteemide has also been adopted and adapted by other countries as a model for their own healthcare systems.
