Performing in the medical profession is combined with numerous medical, ethical and financial limitations. Doctors publicly rather often criticaly mention the financial situation, for it is well known, that no country can offer enough money for their health care. It is also known, that the same amount of money does not mean the same in different health care systems. The shortage of money in health care can be alleviated either by more money or by better use of the existing sources. In Slovenia typical indexies of different health care fields indicate, that health care sources are not used effectivelly enough, a fact which is a part of some open questions in politics, for instance the categorisation of hospitals. Primary health care seldom publishs its most typical indexes as well. Slovenia which still has in its percentage of GDP some reserves, will have to consider such situation bothin solving financial questions and in the introduction of quality assurance in health care. The principles of the Ljubljana Charter in reforminghealth care also represent a usefull guideline in the search for equilibrium with unavoidable financial limitations.
