Özet
Comprehensive development, growth, and prosperity of all social ranks are among the fundamental problems of many countries. The health sector is of great importance for people or societies to lead a healthier, higher quality, and happier life. The health sector is a vital sector for the society, and the resources allocated to this sector and the revenues obtained have a significant share in the national economies. One of the most important problems or uncertainties in the health sector is that this sector is a multi-actor or multi-managed structure. Healthcare sectors of countries are run by both local and central governments. This multi-factor structure also creates a suitable environment for corruption and this sector is more vulnerable to corruption. The study aimed to analyze the general healthcare system of Kosovo. The research has been conducted with the aid of questionnaire consisted of 23 questions that was applied to 160 participants. The participants were generally asked about their personal opinions on the health system, their trust, and their thoughts on corruption in the health system. The results revealed that the majority of the participants did not trust in the health system in Kosovo, and they generally are in opinion that opposition and corruption are happening at a large extent.
