Description | The Supreme Audit Office verified the special-purpose subsidy for applied medical research, which was paid out by the Ministry of Health between 2015 and 2019. During this period, the financial support amounted to CZK 4.2 billion. The funds were supposed to help improve the health of Czech citizens, answer the needs of the current health care system, and secure an internationally relevant level of research. However, the audit revealed that the Ministry did not monitor or evaluate the benefits of the aid it paid out. Moreover, the programmes were prepared in a way that made quantity more important than quality of the results. The support was aimed primarily at research results with practical use, but most of the outputs were articles and publications. |
