Information about the Serbian Health system and insurance system.

Serbia adopts a mixed system as its healthcare system. There are public health services and private health services financed by the state. Access to healthcare is provided through the citizens' health insurance system. Health insurance in Serbia is a compulsory system. Citizens pay insurance premiums divided into different groups such as employees, retirees and the unemployed. Insurance premiums are collected as a percentage of salaries and employers are also required to pay premiums. Within the scope of health insurance, citizens can benefit from free healthcare services in public hospitals and health centers. However, they may be required to pay a certain co-payment for some treatments. Those who want to benefit from private health services must make extra payments for these services. Health services in Serbia are generally good. Public hospitals and health centers provide a variety of healthcare services, such as general healthcare, emergency services, polyclinics, laboratories and other medical units. Private health services may be preferred to provide better quality and faster service. Health tourism is also developing in Serbia. Foreign patients prefer Serbia to benefit from quality healthcare services at affordable prices. Health tourism is especially popular in areas such as plastic surgery, dental treatment and in vitro fertilization. As a result, the Serbian healthcare system has a mixed structure and access to healthcare is through the health insurance system. In addition to public health services, there are also private health services. Health services in the country are generally at a good level and health tourism is also developing.
