Cooperation of non-governmental organisations and local governments in health care system

Summary/Abstract: The common aim of non-governmental organisations and local governments is to satisfy the needs of inhabitants, also in the area of the health care system. The form and depth of the mutual relations, especially on a local level, is territorially diversified. The data were obtained by means of a nationwide survey, using the Computer-Assisted Web Interview (CAWI) method and the Computer-Assisted Telephone Interview (CATI) method. The study sample comprised 207 communities, 204 district towns, and 14 regional self-governments. Activities in health promotion and disease prevention, greater efficiency of activity, and broad access to target groups were the most frequently mentioned benefits of cooperation with nongovernmental organisations. On the other hand, limited financial assets, insufficient number of organisations eager for cooperation, and lack of qualified staff were the greatest difficulties in the respondents’ opinion.
