The purpose of this article is to analyse the healthcare regimes in selected Islamic countries, underlining the aspects that differentiate them from the healthcare system in the European countries and identifying the features that might constitute the basis for the identification of an Islamic model of healthcare. The present study identifies five different groups of countries, with five different national health account (NHA) composition schemes. The conclusion of this article will demonstrate how the healthcare system in the selected Islamic countries, although it does not constitute one original model, shows specific aspects that diverge from the canonical regimes and may be considered peculiar for the countries under investigation.

Podkreślono w niej cechy odróżniające je od systemów opieki zdrowotnej w krajach euro- pejskich i zidentyfikowano cechy mogące stanowić podstawę do określenia islamskiego modelu opieki zdrowotnej. W badaniu wyróżniono pięć grup krajów islamskich różniących się pod względem struktury narodowych rachunków zdrowia (NHA). Wnioski z tego artykułu pokazują, w jaki sposób systemy opieki zdrowotnej w wybranych krajach islamskich, choć nie stanowią jednego oryginalnego modelu, różnią się od klasycznych europejskich systemów.
