TI - European Union structural funds’ role in financing investments in Polish heath care sector
AB - 
	The article presents the analysis of European Union structural funds’ role in financing investments in Polish heath care sector. The analysis includes investments in physical assets (mainly equipment, renovations) as well all projects related to human capital (education). Distinguishing features of EU co-financed investments projects are presented. The analysis is focused on the period 2007–2013, however some basic assumptions for the new financial perspective (2014–2020) ware also discussed. The outcomes of the analysis confirm that EU structural funds constitute an important (and in many cases major) source of financing investments in Polish health care sector. However, at the macro level the is a strong need for introduction of coordination policies and rationalization mechanisms (linking the investments planning with the actual heath needs and sustainability prognosis).
