摘要

新冠肺炎大流行需要调动所有可用的卫生保健资源,包括私人营利性资源。这项多方法研究(结合文件和二次数据分析)的目的是评估促进希腊私营卫生部门参与新冠肺炎应对的政府法规。在疫情期间,政府连续三次提高私营医疗机构的报销费用,为私营医疗机构提供额外的财政激励,并为私营部门参与国家新冠肺炎应对工作拨出2.8亿欧元的紧急资金。作为回应,私立医院平均每波疫情提供其总床位的2.2%用于治疗新冠肺炎患者,提供其总床位数的1.7%用于治疗从国家卫生系统(NHS)医院转移的非新冠肺炎患者。2020年,五大医疗保健企业集团的收入保持不变,而在2021年,它们的收入增长了18.7%,这与希腊经济在2020年经历的9%的衰退和2021年8.4%的复苏形成了鲜明对比。在严重的公共卫生危机时期,私人医疗保健提供者通过将其设施与新冠肺炎患者和NHS患者转移隔离开来,最大限度地减少其社会贡献,并保障其收入和利润,来应对社会的紧迫医疗保健需求。

The COVID-19 Pandemic and the Private Health Sector: Profiting without Socially Contributing.

The COVID-19 pandemic necessitated the mobilization of all available health care resources, including private, for-profit ones. The aim of this multiple methods study (combination of document and secondary data analysis) was to assess government regulations facilitating the private health sector's participation in the COVID-19 response in Greece. During the pandemic, the government made three successive increases in private providers' reimbursement fees, provided additional financial incentives to private providers, and allocated €280 million of emergency funding for the private sector's involvement in the national COVID-19 response. In response, private hospitals made available on average 2.2% of their total bed capacity per epidemic wave for the treatment of COVID-19 patients and 1.7% of their total bed capacity for the treatment of non-COVID-19 patients transferred from National Health System (NHS) hospitals. In 2020 the five largest health care corporate groups maintained their revenues, while in 2021 they increased them by 18.7%-a striking comparison with the 9% recession experienced by the Greek economy in 2020 and its 8.4% recovery in 2021. In a time of an acute public health crisis, private health care providers responded to society's pressing health care needs by insulating their facilities from COVID-19 patients and NHS patient transfers, minimizing their social contribution and safeguarding their revenues and profits.
