Dopad evropských dotací z Integrovaného regionálního operačního programu na rozvoj zdravotnictví v České republice v období 2014 až 2023

This bachelor thesis examines the impact of European subsidies from the Integrated Regional Operational Programme (IROP) on the development of the health sector in the Czech Republic in the period 2014 to 2023. The hypothesis that the thesis tests is that the use of subsidies supports the development of the health sector in the Czech Republic. The theoretical part focuses on the method of literature search, defining concepts that are later applied in the practical part. It introduces the basic concepts related to public finance, European subsidy policy with a focus on the European Structural Funds set for the Czech Republic for the period 2014 to 2023, and the structure of the healthcare system in the Czech Republic. The practical part works with data on the number of implemented projects, the amount of subsidies, the number of doctors, hospitals and aftercare beds and compares the development of these variables between 2014 to 2023, including the reference year 2013 in all regions of the Czech Republic depending on the population. The research results show that the subsidies from European funds mediated by IROP in the period 2014 to 2023 positively influence the development of the health sector in the Czech Republic, thus confirming the hypothesis. Nevertheless, differences persist between regions in the volume of subsidies drawn and in their results. The paper quantitatively compares the effectiveness of subsidy disbursement between regions and proposes recommendations for better targeting of support in the following programming periods.
