The Gdansk Institute for Market Economics (GIME) was concerned that the systems that fund Polish health care and education are inefficient and undermine the quality of service. GIME researchers investigated this general concern by analyzing detailed financial data and secondary sources on Polish institutions, policy, and the performance of health care and education. In education, researchers found that funding is allocated inflexibly and unfairly by a system that does not clearly delineate local and national funding responsibilities. In health care, they found a hospital system that is groaning under the weight of unsustainable debt—an issue that GIME researchers then examined in more depth in a separate study.
