ANALYSIS OF SELECTED DEMOGRAPHIC ASPECTS OF DAY SURGERY IN SLOVAK HEALTH POLICY.

Also in Slovak health care day surgery is considered to be highly effective, since the treatment is focused to cure the patient in the shortest period of time without excessive pain and stress, providing highest quality with as little expenditure as possible. In 2009 new regulations came into effect in Slovakia concerning day surgery, which also promoted the development of day child surgery. Rigorous regulations apply for day child surgery to ensure higher responsibility within surgeons and all the medical staff. Suggested partial analyses of day surgery of the juniors obtained during the period of 2009 - 2012 in Slovakia indicate the importance to analyze data accessible at the National Health Information Center, as well as the importance of connection with demographics. These analyses enable us to adequately provide day surgery in individual regions of Slovakia, as well as to interconnect this treatment with optimal funding via health insurance companies, which will lead to increased efficiency of health care.
