Health Services as Social Policy Element

Abstract

The starting point of social policy is to improve the situation of the working class who are disadvantaged in working life after the industrial revolution. Over time, however, scope expansion has taken place and targeted all disadvantaged individuals in society. The formation of being disadvantaged occurs with great social risks. Disease/health risk also plays an important role in social risks. There also have been significant changes in the meaning of health/illness phenomena in the long term. The complexity of the health care system stems from the features of the health care services. From financing to the institutions, and from service provider to the staff, a network of services that must be very complex and coordinated is faced. The association of the conformity of this complexity is becoming increasingly difficult. Therefore, in order to overcome the disadvantages arising from disease / health risks, active social policy implementations of the state are required at almost every stage.
