Improving the efficiency, quality and accessibility of the health system

The objective of this reform is to increase equal access to primary healthcare, especially in the rural, remote and islands areas, by improving the range and quality of services at the level of family doctors (general practitioners), thus reducing the burden on the hospitals. 

The Health System Performance Assessment (HSPA) framework was established in 2022 to better track the health outcomes and help linking measures to the objectives set out in the national strategy papers and reforms, improving the timeliness of health data available for strategic and policy analysis. 

The waiting time for diagnostic treatments have also been significantly reduced allowing for faster access to health services.
