Health systems across the world face multiple pressures. Input
costs are soaring, systems are struggling to keep-up with
increasing demand for their services and areas of the world still
lack universal health coverage. All of this whilst health
inequalities between the best and worst-off within countries
persist and, in some countries, are even widening. There is a need
to think of new initiatives in response to these global health
challenges. One such response is social finance. Social finance is
about creating social returns. This innovative and rapidly growing
sector promotes new ways of banking and funding social and public
services. However, social finance has an underrecognised, and
potentially underexploited, role in responding to specific aspects
of global health challenges: funding and facilitating access to
health (care) services and acting on health. The objectives of this
book are to conceptualise and evidence different forms of social
finance - microfinance and impact bonds - acting in these ways and
to critically engage with current debates and challenges. With such
evidence to hand, we can either avoid adoption of new trends in
financing public services or, more hopefully, attract greater
policy support and resources for new tools for public health and in
supporting more precarious, but potentially essential, parts of the
finance sector. This book will be essential reading to students,
researchers, policymakers and the general public alike who are
interested in, or who work in, and across, health systems and
social finance.
