| Abstract: | In low- and middle-income countries like Serbia, improving access to healthcare is a central objective of social and development policy, closely linked to the Sustainable Development Goals, particularly SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-Being) and SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth). However, healthcare expenditure is still frequently perceived as a fiscal cost rather than as a productive investment. Serbia, an middle-income country with a predominantly publicly financed healthcare system, offers a relevant case for examining how expanding healthcare access is intertwined with domestic economic structures and inclusive development outcomes. |
