| Description | The aim of the contribution is to evaluate general conditions for the HSR in the Czech Republic and its impact on health policy. The contribution starts with the presentation of Czech institutional provision of the research in the health policy domain. Authors consider the tradition of national-level HSR interrupted in the Czech Republic and not re-established. The HSR is still conducted by certain universities, but authors suppose that the human capacities are not sufficient given the small number of universities curriculums focused on the health policy topic. Besides the national – level institutions and universities, there exist some independent voluntary bodies in the Czech Republic that are active in the HSR. There is a real and doubtless need for a HSR of good quality in the Czech Republic; the authors do not believe that the conditions for such research are created neither in terms of human capacities neither in terms of national support. These factors mean that there is a very little impact of HSR on the real health policy and authors try to identify the possible solutions of such a situation. |
