Abstract

The aim of the article is to assess whether the critical claims about the expenditures of state on the healthcare system are valid, as well as determine if there exists any type of standard measurement, or recommendation on how much the state should spend on healthcare, considering the economic capacity of the country? Evidently, a country with low economic gains, which could be considered poor, cannot spend excessively on healthcare. However, the research has shown, that despite the growing expenses on healthcare, Georgia still lags behind not only the standards set by the World Health Organization (WHO), but also many low-income states. This assessment was made by the World Health Organization based on the indicators of the effectiveness of the funding of the system, as well as the comparative analysis of the statistical data of other countries (developed and developing ones).
