Getting Health Reform Right: A Guide to Improving Performance and Equity(Anniversary Edition)

Abstract:

This book provides a multi-disciplinary framework for developing and analyzing health sector reforms, based on the authors' extensive international experience. It offers practical guidance—useful to policymakers, consultants, academics, and students alike—and stresses the need to take account of each country's economic, administrative, and political circumstances. The authors explain how to design effective government interventions in five areas—financing, payment, organization, regulation, and behavior—to improve the performance and equity of health systems around the world.
