Summary/Abstract: A major problem of global health is the conflict between limited resources and ever-increasing costs. Access to medical care is practically limited by the budgetary framework of the state budget and the National Health Insurance Fund budget. Legislation defines patients' rights and the obligations of medical institutions to provide medical care. There is no explicit legal regulation, with the exception of the schematically regulated waiting list for hospitalisation, on the behaviour in case of need for medical care in conditions of missing or exhausted budget funding. The relationship between a patient and a medical institution should be regulated in accordance with the current legal framework in the health sector.
