The health services are organized into a primary healthcare sector (GPs and privately practicing specialist doctors), and a secondary healthcare sector (hospitals and outpatient units), i.e. the GPs function as gatekeepers for the hospitals and specialist doctors. There are a number of private clinics, but the highest proportion of patients are treated in the public healthcare institutions.
