In the years following the independence of Slovenia, healthcare system was reformed. Privatisation represents an important aspect of those reforms. The system was opened up for private practiotionres and financing was partly privatised as well. In this thesis, we were interested whether privatisation was the strongest in the providing services or financing. Firstly, welfare state and healthcare systems in general were presented and later on, privatisation of healthcare as such was presented with the emphasis on the privatisation in Slovenia. Empyrical part of the thesis consisted of two methods (analysis of databases and three structured interviews). Both parts of the empyrical analisys suggested, that tendecies towards privatisation are present in both areas - in the providing services and financing. However, tendencies are stronger in the field of providing healthcare services.
