New methods "Rapid health assessment" fulfill the request for a methodologically clear and efficient way of gaining the recent data, using relatively limited resources. The aim of the study was an assessment of health care delivery and problems in its realization and the population health status, in the period of crises (and of 1993/begining of 1994). The study showed that first effects of crises are shown in the field of health care delivery and than in the population health status. The difficulties were not the same for all, children and urgent cases had less problems than others. The morbidity structure among children and adults was changed. The morbidity structure among children and adults was changed in comparison with routine statistical data. The period of crises has been too short to draw any definitive conclusions.
