Abstract

The aim of this paper is to investigate different aspects and give a synthesized review on the importance of the European Structural and Investment Funds (ESIFs) in health, an area that is less studied in previous research about the investments of the EU funds in the EU. Based on theoretical review, the paper confirms that health can be connected with most of the investment priorities of the EU cohesion policy. Regarding the structure of the ESIFs in health, the results of the multivariate cluster analysis show that EU Member States which have higher regional inequalities in health, lower public health service capacities, lower government expenditure on health and lower self-reported health as good or very good direct a significant share of funds to finance health infrastructure and access to health. In the context of building resilient societies, in using different investment opportunities of the ESIFs for health, it is necessary to strengthen other fields related to health, to combine instruments of financing through an integrative approach and to monitor and evaluate the effects of investments continually.

欧洲卫生结构基金和投资基金综述

本文的目的是调查不同方面，并对欧洲结构和投资基金（ESIF）在卫生领域的重要性进行综合评述，这是以前关于欧盟基金在欧盟投资的研究中较少研究的领域。在理论回顾的基础上，本文证实了健康可以与欧盟凝聚力政策的大多数投资重点联系在一起。关于卫生领域ESIF的结构，多元聚类分析的结果表明，在卫生领域区域不平等程度较高、公共卫生服务能力较低、政府卫生支出较低、自我报告健康状况良好或非常好的欧盟成员国将很大一部分资金用于资助卫生基础设施和获得卫生服务。在建设有韧性的社会的背景下，在利用ESIF的不同投资机会促进健康方面，有必要加强与健康相关的其他领域，通过综合方法结合融资工具，并不断监测和评估投资的效果。
