In 1992, Slovenia introduced both a compulsory and a voluntary health care insurance system as well as a system allowing the privatisation of the work of primary health care physicians. The wider health care reforms that were set in motion at that time were designed to increase transparency of funding arrangements, to mobilise available funds and regain control of escalating health care costs. The role of NGOs in Slovenian health care is beginning to expand and is recognised in the Law of Organisations, which was passed in 1995. The country spent 7.9% of GDP on health in 2000.
