Public-sector healthcare services are provided by the Health Service Executive (HSE), which is predominantly funded through taxation, though most patients are also required to make out-of-pocket payments for certain treatments. Rising waiting lists has resulted in private sector growth, with 2.4 million people having private health insurance in June 2022, according to the Health Insurance Authority.

General hospitals include civilian and military hospitals, not-for-profit operations, and university and prison hospitals.
