    Abstract:
    Expenditure on health services on a world-wide scale have an ever increasing trend. The trends in advanced countries where nowadays the expenditure on health services is cca 10% of the national gross product is to restrict a further rise and to make maximum use of available resources. In Czechoslovakia the position is different, as expenditure on health services is roughly half as compared with advanced countries. Provisions thus will be specific and funds from other sources than the stage budget will be increased and there will be efforts to achieve a maximum effectiveness as regards the use of available resources. At the same time it will be, however, necessary to make an effort to increase the total volume of financial resources for the health services. The importance of these efforts ensues from the present health status of the population.
