Health reforms in Southern European countries (1950s-1970s): inertia and changes
This dossier focuses on some characteristics of the health reform processes in three southern European countries —Greece, Italy and Spain— over the second half of the twentieth century. We are interested in the proposals, projects and debates that sought to reorganise the health systems of these three countries. The paper on Italy analyses some aspects of the discussion that led to a national health service in 1978. In the cases of Greece and Spain, which both underwent a period of military dictatorship in the second half of the twentieth century, we describe attempts to restructure the system prior to the health reform laws. The point of departure of the dossier is the need to define in more detail the health reform processes in the southern European countries from a historical perspective in order to contribute to the understanding of: 1) the characteristics of the health organizations that required reform; 2) the delay in the establishment of systems of universal coverage; and 3) the difficulties in the implementation of the reforms. With historical analysis it is possible to open up new paths in the study of the development of contemporary healthcare systems and to explore the similarities and differences between the three countries.
