Hungarian language summary of the fifty-second session of WHO Regional Committee for Europe held in Copenhagen, 16-19 September 2002. Many Member States in the Region are looking at the role of the private sector and privatisation in the context of the reform of their health systems. This document explores current developments in this field, addresses two elements central to the debate (definitions of terms and the role of the values and ideology), outlines existing evidence and highlights the importance of government stewardship. Its ultimate purpose is to address how WHO can assist Member States in providing evidence and through direct country support.
