Spending wisely : buying health services for the poor
World Bank economists note that lessons learned from strategic planning in other sectors of the economy are being successfully applied to the health sector in many developing countries. E.g., effective spending policies and payment mechanisms are viewed as critical as better access to health services. From conceptual, economic, and regulatory frameworks, 22 chapters treat issues involved in making strategic purchasing pro-poor. Tables and figures supply details on expenditures, incentives, and models. Annotation : 2005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
