Summary/Abstract: The deliberations presented in this article refer to the statute on medical activity in accordance with the law after the amendment introducing very significant changes under the act as of 10 June 2016 on the change of act on medical activity or some other acts. The above-mentioned amendment is called the act on complimenting of hospitals and is seen as the beginning of the systemic reform of public health service. Undoubtedly, in public view, there is a strong need to implement relevant changes and even a new legal and organizational order in the scope of broadly defined health protection. The information coming from a norm maker about the assumed and planned comprehensive and revolutionary alterations in health service system [Systemic reform in health service – the current progress of work and new assignments] exert as well greater mobility of all entities forming independent public healthcare centres, as the change and the way of assessing the capability of bearing the financial burden in medical activity and the aftermath resulting from the necessity of reshaping/ reforming of independent public healthcare centres. Considering the implementation of health service reform, the paper also illustrates the main legal solutions of setting up, operating and reshaping of independent public healthcare centres aimed at appreciating their role in meeting societal needs in terms of health protection and services.
