“…The two approaches were used to convert prices from other currencies into CZK: (i) by using official exchange rates (CNB 2017) and (ii) using PPP; this assessment was based on Eurostat PPP data for electrical and optical equipment (Eurostat 2017b). Note: Maximum and minimum monthly average exchange rates of Czech National Bank (CNB) for 2013 was applied (CNB 2017); PPP: purchasing power parity in "Electrical and optical equipment" for EU nations (Eurostat 2017b).

“…Source: authors' own calculations. Note: Maximum and minimum monthly average exchange rates of CNB were applied (CNB 2017); PPP: purchasing power parity for category "Electrical and optical equipment" for EU nations (Eurostat 2017b), and purchasing power parity for GDP for other countries (OECD 2017c). Conversion by PPP for Sri Lanka and Singapore was not carried out due to lack of official OECD data.…”

“…The OECD statistical database provides data on general PPP for GDP on a regular basis (OECD 2017c). Eurostat provides a more detailed view of this indicator, including PPP for several aggregates, expenditure categories, and GDP groups (Eurostat 2017b).

Medical equipment (ME) is often considered to be an important factor in the growth of healthcare expenditures. In the Czech Republic (CR) validated approach does not yet exist for hospitals to use to assess commercial offers, nor is there a generally accepted methodology for regulatory bodies to allow for the evaluation of the effectiveness of prior purchases. This study intends to present a methodological approach that will allow for assessing the effectiveness of the procurement of capital ME based on international prices. The case of the purchase of tomotherapy system in the CR was used to demonstrate the developed approach. We performed a multiway search for international estimated and exact prices for tomotherapy unit using public-procurement databases, scientific papers, health technology assessment studies, professional reports, and Internet searches. All of the data that was gathered on prices was subjected to critical assessment vis-à-vis the reliability of the information. This research lays new methodology that may provide general background of international comparison studies focused on ME. The results provide support for decision making about the acquisitions of ME.
