Dražen Gorjanski ; Croatian Institute for Health Insurance - Osijek Regional Office

Abstract

The author explains what commercialization is and how it is recognized in health care. By analyzing the cases of single commercialism, the author directs us toward thinking how commercialism comes to be within an order of higher and lower values, especially in those situations when, out of a value system, the profit appears as the highest aim. In explaining commercialism appearing in Croatian health-care system, the author departs from two facts: the first fact considers the way the system realizes its profit and ensures its own survival, while the second fact is the necessary knowledge of the view of the world the system follows.
