Low- and middle-income countries face major challenges to their
health systems. These include a high burden of communicable disease
and an emerging non-communicable disease burden. Coverage of
effective services and interventions is inadequate and often
constrained by funding availability. At the same time, the
international financing environment is changing rapidly, with new
funding streams becoming available in part as a response to the
challenges of meeting the Millennium Development Goals. These
countries have taken a diversity of approaches to health care
financing policies and programs to face the old and emerging
challenges. This is increasingly accompanied by conceptual and
applied research which is contributing to our understanding of how
different financing mechanisms can contribute to the overall
objectives of a health care system. The goal of this volume is to
assemble the best of this research and synthesize 'best practices'
for the benefit of researchers, policy makers and high level
administrators, dealing with all elements of health care financing
and focusing on both middle- and low-income settings, to represent
the experiences of all regions of the developing world.
