Abstract

In 1948, the Communist Party finally defeated the Czechoslovak government over the next few years and adapted the Czechoslovak economy to the other countries of the USSR over the next few years. On the basis of this was also nationalized the health care, which passed to Semashko model of financing and organization of health care. Given that this model currently only works in Cuba, the aim of this article is to describe the Semashko model and its effect on the health of the population from historical data. At the same time, it is compared in several places with the current results of the Czech health service, which operates on the basis of the Bismarck model.
