and Policies<br />
The <strong>Health</strong> Systems in Transition (HiT) country profiles provide an analytical<br />
description of each health care system and of re<strong>for</strong>m initiatives in progress or<br />

support policy-makers and analysts in the development of health systems and<br />
re<strong>for</strong>ms in the countries of the WHO <strong>Europe</strong>an Region and beyond. The HiT<br />
profiles are building blocks that can be used:<br />
• to learn in detail about different approaches to the financing, organization<br />
and delivery of health services;<br />
• to describe accurately the process, content and implementation of health<br />
re<strong>for</strong>m programmes;<br />
• to highlight common challenges and areas that require more in-depth<br />
analysis; and<br />
• to provide a tool <strong>for</strong> the dissemination of in<strong>for</strong>mation on health systems<br />
and the exchange of experiences of re<strong>for</strong>m strategies between policymakers<br />
and analysts in countries of the WHO <strong>Europe</strong>an Region.<br />
