-== [[Healthcare System]] ==
-Estonia operates a universal health care system primarily funded through the Estonian Health Insurance Fund (EHIF), covering about 94% of the population. It's a semi-autonomous organization, gaining more responsibilities post a 2017 reform. Financing comes from a social payroll tax, state and municipal budgets (just under 11% of total healthcare expenditure), and private expenditure, mainly co-payments (about a quarter of all health expenditure).
-The Estonian Ministry of Social Affairs supervises the health care system nationally, with some minor and voluntary input from local municipalities. The Health and Labor Market Policy Department designs health policies, while other agencies assure professional certifications and pharmaceutical quality.
-Hospitals, primarily state-owned or affiliated with public legal bodies, along with independent general practitioners, form the healthcare service backbone. Additionally, private primary care centres, pharmacies, and outpatient clinics supplement the services. The system ensures primary care, specialist outpatient care, hospital care, maternity services, emergency care, dental care, prescription drugs, rehabilitation services, home nursing, prostheses, medical devices, and preventive services.
-For benefits access, individuals need to be insured with the EHIF, which includes employed persons and their dependents, the retired, registered unemployed, children, students, pregnant women, and other certain groups.
-Estonia has a sophisticated, largely digital healthcare system. Providers send claims electronically to the EHIF, and patient data is stored in a decentralized system, the Electronic Health Record (EHR), accessible by authorized providers. These records contribute to health registries for analysis and research, maintaining a centralized health information system.
