Résumé :
|
International and domestic economic conditions led to a bailout of Portuguese public finances in May 2011. The bailout had associated a set of commitments to reduce public spending in health care. The speed of adoption of policy measures, and their depth, constituted an unanticipated economic shock to the Portuguese National Health Service. ( ) The Portuguese National Health Service revealed resilience to several aspects of the economic shock, but also an inability to learn in a systematic way from the shock. The adjustment to the economic shock brought permanent changes that improved the functioning of the National Health Service, but also seeds for future problems.
