HEALTH
SECTOR REFORM
By examining recent health sector reforms, we will seek
to identify the economic, political and institutional factors that have
enabled or constrained the implementation of policies designed to benefit
the poorest people.
We have made significant progress on this theme. Several
countries have reviewed existing evaluations that document experiences
in health policy implementation. These reviews have provided a foundation
for small scale studies including:
India A study examining
the impact of mobile health units on access to care in Orissa and Tamil
Nadu States and the factors that affect utilisation.
Nigeria Evaluation
of a community based health insurance pilot scheme in Anambra State.
South Africa [University
of Cape Town]: Evaluation of a hospital fee exemption scheme
Thailand An assessment
of budget allocation changes that accompanied the implementation of the
universal coverage policy.
South Africa [University
of the Witwatersrand]: An assessment of the Patients' rights Charter from
the perspective of provider-patient interactions.
Kenya and Tanzania
Studies that examine the implementation of the Integrated Management of
Childhood Illness policies.
