| Résumé : | The Estonian health system is centrally organised, with the Ministry of Social Affairs responsible for health policy development, strategic planning and regulatory oversight. It operates under a social health insurance model managed by the Estonian Health Insurance Fund (EHIF), which pools public funds and contracts with providers to deliver services. Although local governments are involved in some public health activities and own some hospitals, their role in the organisation and financing of health services remains limited, except for long term care. Health policy is guided by the National Health Plan, which sets strategic goals such as increasing life expectancy and reducing health inequalities. The EHIF aligns its plans with the National Health Plan through long-term development strategies and annual targets. |
