Abstract

European societies, including Poland, are aging, and this increases the demand for health spending. The prices of new medicines and medical technologies will also increase. Health insurance funds will not be able to fully cover the growing demand for medical care. States will disclaim responsibility for the health of citizens. The proportion of patients paying for medical services will increase. There will be an increased interest in managing your own health, including self-care. The role of pharmacies in the market will change. As neighborhood facilities, they will be of assistance, providing pharmaceutical care. Patient support will be available in social media, as well as in various mobile applications. It will be helpful to use the achievements of behavioral economics to support the health of patients.
