| סיכום: | Public Health Systems (PHS) are in constant evolution. Research in the field must be continuously updated considering the direction of these changes. The present stage of capitalism is underpinned by the process of financialisation – the expansion of the financial sector in size, scale, and power. Although the process of financialisation is reshaping PHS, the mechanisms through which this occurs remain poorly investigated. This article aims to discuss how the concept of financialisation can be incorporated into the conceptual framework currently used to examine PHS reforms. This allows us to understand better the drivers, features, and impacts of recent policy shifts. In light of the potential of financialized strategies to grow as a new solution for financially strained systems, refining the concepts used in PHS research represents a crucial avenue of investigation. |
